Kia ora e te whānau. The phrase “from out of nowhere” is overused, and largely inaccurate in the sense that everyone, and indeed everything,came from somewhere. Everything (and indeed everyone) has a beginning, a middle, and an end. If this most pummeled term of art was applied to any individual correctly in the context of the Aotearoa trail and ultramarathon scene it would apply to Scott Bougen. From a personal best at a local backyard race in 2021 to lining up at Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc as an elite after his 6th place finish at the Tarawera 100 miler in 2022, Scott is going from strength to strength, someone who is passionate about community and engaging in all facets of the trail running experience. Eugene and Matt sit down to discuss Scott’s beginnings, his middle act, and what lies ahead for him in the coming months. Best Enjoyed Running.
