What I hope children take home from nature play 🌿

Not a worksheet.
Not a finished craft.
Not a list of facts to remember.

But a little more curiosity.
A little more confidence.
A deeper connection to the world around them.

And the feeling that nature is somewhere they belong. 🤎

So excited to be apart of Hume & Hovel Ultra this year. But I won't be running... I'll be offering nature-play activities for children so you can get out on the track. Such an exciting collaboration.
Standard entries close at the end of August. Book in now because tickets are selling fast!

It's peak training time for the 2026 Hume and Hovell Ultra. Our plans are coming together and we hope yours are too!

*brief update below*
If you're putting in some training but still on the fence, we'd encourage you to jump on and register sooner rather than later. Standard entry fees end on August 31 and with registrations more than double previous years at this point, we have set a cap on entries, with some events likely to sell out. We love seeing the interest in the event, but also want to make sure it's a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, at the race hub and on trail.

As of 24 August, there are:
25 spots left in the 100km
19 spots left in the 50km
55 spots left in the 22km
41 spots left in the 11km, plus 19 more for U18

RaceRoster has been updated now to reflect the spaces available.

We will aim to be flexible on moving spots around if one distance doesn't sell out but others do, while keeping a firm cap on total numbers.

As always, reach out with any questions- best way is to send an email to [email protected].

Looking forward to seeing you all in October!

🌧️ Nature play doesn’t stop when it rains!

Rain brings a whole new world of play-muddy puddles, squelchy footprints, flowing creeks, mud kitchens, collecting, pouring and exploring. 🌿💦

With the right clothing and a little shift in mindset, we can see the joy instead of the inconvenience.

And sometimes, it’s good for kids to be a little wet, muddy, cold or uncomfortable. It gives them the chance to push themselves, problem-solve, persevere and discover, “I can do this!”

So grab the gumboots, embrace the mud and let them play. 🤎🌧️
