Majell Backhausen is an Australian ultrarunner and environmentalist. He’s run many races in all corners of the globe but possibly his most important run ever was running to save a forest.
In this episode, we talk to Maj about his childhood, his journey to trail running, about following curiosity, being a good human and his epic 273km run across the proposed Great Forest National Park to stop native forest logging.
