WELCOME TO AFTERGLOW: REDUX 2020
Yep, nothing can rein in a trail-frothing unicorn. So COVID may change the way we gallop, but it won't stop us a-spreadin singletrack rainbows.
So - same unicorn date (21st November 2020), same unicorn buffoonery, same rainbow vibe, just with different locations across Australia (and the globe!) and under who knows what conditions, pending whatever the COVID regulations are come that date. [Come 21st November, maybe we will still be able to gather in small groups; maybe even still down on the Surf Coast!]. Unfortunately, we just can’t do it in the organised and supported way we usually do for Afterglow (and Surf Coast Trail Marathon).
So for 2020 only we will do a Virtual Unicorn Gathering – which won’t be that virtual – you still have to get out and run, somewhere, some distance. It may even still hurt you. But you won’t need VR Goggles. You can immerse yourself on real trails, in real bush, with real tutus on.
So sign up today to join in the fluro fun.
