Shownotes

Lauren Korstrom is an outdoor lover from Canada, who now lives in Methven, Canterbury. With Mount Somers in her back yard, Lauren has become quite passionate about the area, and the huge variety of tracks that there are from family-friendly beginner tracks to more advanced hiking. Mount Somers is also home to the popular Woolshed Creek and Pinnacles Huts for an overnight tramp. Lauren has always been a runner, but wanted a change from road running. She recently competed in her first trail running race, which combines her love for running and hiking in the Mount Somers half marathon. Every new skill or race has its challenges, but Lauren was familiar with the trails and broke up the race into manageable sections, making it easier for her mentally. Mount Somers is a must-do on your next trip to mid-Canterbury.
