Liv Compton is coming back for her third attempt at Coast to Kosci, with two really good finishes to her name already.

The Norwegian Born Queenslander is no stranger to the warm weather and looked at home in last year's sweltering conditions. Her running career has seen her run in some of the country's most interesting Backyard Ultras, including Phil Gore's win at Dead Cow Gully in 2022.

Earlier this year she ran a Norwegian Women's Backyard Ultra Record, with 40 loops at Sydney's Backyard Ultra, which will see Liv invited onto the Norwegian team for next year's Satellite World Championships.

She's also such a versatile runner, winning a number of recent marathons in the sunshine state, and pushing runners have her age each weekend at the Airlie Beach parkrun, Liv brings her humour to this chat, and I can't wait to see how she goes at this year's edition of the great race.
