Jon Muir with his old Asolo boots.
These boots are made for walking.
Just ask Jon Muir – one of Australia's best known adventurers.
A solo, unsupported, off-track walk to the geographical centre of Australia, the furthest point from the ocean in all directions. The trip will encompass over 1750 kilometres on foot, amassing over 3 million paces through gruelling, unrelenting terrain. The going will be tough, loose sand and rock will impede the way and the country, in drought, will make finding water a desperate occupation. Food rations will be limited. Foraging for bush tucker will become the only difference between survival and death.

La Sportiva Mountain Running SeriesBogong is thrilled to partner with Running Wild and La Sportiva to create the La Sportiva Mountain Running Series. What attracted us to the Running Wild events is they are hard, technical, challenging runs which require a level of commitment, self reliance, training and experience but they are also a shared experience with like minded people. Most rock climbers would know that La Sportiva have a leading reputation in climbing footwear. Less well known is that over the last few years La Sportiva have launched an exciting range of Mountain Running shoes inspired by the sky running races in the European Alps and sponsor the European La Sportiva Mountain Running Cup. La Sportiva have also established mountain running teams and events in Europe and the US with great success. Bogong is delighted to announce that we will have the all new La Sportiva Mountain Running shoes in store mid April. See a sneak preview here: La Sportiva Ultra Raptor, La Sportiva Wildcat 2.0 Goretex, La Sportiva Helios The La Sportiva Mountain Running Series comprises 5 events: As you can see the Alpine Challenge was held last weekend in trying conditions.
