GPT100 // Australias PREMIER mountain miler // Grampians Peaks Trail

What a place, what a race! The Grampians is something special. An incredibly brutal race to cap off a solid 12 months of racing. Technical trail running now has a new meaning. If it's at all possible, get to the Grampians ASAP.

Thanks for the great content in 2023!

[@lukewbarrett]

Woah! Cam! Thanks bro. Bring on 2024!

[@BruceJackson-SEOCoach]

Congratulations Luke - great job, was also lovely to see Sarah's feedback as well. Well done both of you!

[@sarahtapp4597]

Thanks Bruce!

[@lukewbarrett]

To my biggest fan, Thanks for the support, Luke. Also, good to hear from you too Bruce! Hope you’re well.

Looks like a beautiful route. I love how the wildlife came alive in the morning, it must have got you going 7:25

[@lukewbarrett]

Morning always brings a renewed sense of energy, but hearing the bush wake up was pretty cool for sure!

[@mikebaker3261]

Well done Luke! I was running with a guy in the UT Kosci 100k on Friday and your name came up. Your content and running efforts are so good, thanks & keep it up! You come across as relatable and a top bloke, oh and a good ambassador for Norda!! I had to send my pair to a PO Box so my wife didn’t find out 😊

[@lukewbarrett]

Kosci100! Nice! Haha thanks mate. I’m just a regular guy like everyone. Thanks for the kind words though! Nordas are sick. Sounds like I’m great for their business, but not so much for relationships? 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@sandstromj]

Thx for a great story.

[@lukewbarrett]

Thanks for watching!

[@nicokypreos]

Talking, filming, 100mile a! Kudos bro 😎

[@lukewbarrett]

Jack of all trades, master of none 😂

[@nathankoenig9877]

Just did the troopers to my difficult out and back. 16.6km 652m and it was hot. Brutal trail

[@lukewbarrett]

Heat would add another dimension to those trails for sure. I had it wet but I’d rather that than heat!

[@nathankoenig9877]

@@lukewbarrett how did you find the final climb to Gar campground?

[@StokesCrew]

Brilliant Luke. Great run, great video. Thanks mate, always looking forward to the next one.

[@lukewbarrett]

You’re too kind good sir. 🙏

[@mountaingoats9734]

That is the hard part about filming a run. The technical parts are the most spectacular. Nicely done.

[@lukewbarrett]

Cheers!

[@chrisclark7564]

Well done on getting any footage. I didn't even manage one decent photo

[@lukewbarrett]

Gotta go back then year then!

[@christianmckinlay2102]

Congrats Luke on the race. Great to see some of that country. Enjoy a slow down into Christmas, and spend some time with the fam.

[@lukewbarrett]

Thanks man! The Grampians is actually insane. 🤯 Nordas were 👌as always too!

[@peterm5877]

Was watching your tracker in the morning thinking 'there is no way in hell I'm doing this race given Luke's time on feet'. Brutal indeed. Really interesting your race (sugar) nutrition keeps kicking goals. Anyway good stuff again mate.

[@lukewbarrett]

I’m sure one day my guts will turn, but bloody stoked it’s working out right now. You gotta get there man! Such a good race.

[@aidanoc19]

'Miler' to a track runner has a very different meaning😂. Amazing effort Luke, enjoy your break, holidays and look forward to some more content later in the Aussie summer.

[@lukewbarrett]

Thanks mate! Truth be told I’d much rather run a mountain 100 miler than a track miler 😂

[@jimshoes2210]

Congrats mate! Super technical, a wrong turn & still comes away with 4th, wicked. What a mental year, enjoy the down time & off season! Oh got some Norda’s under the tree so hopefully your next pair are freebies, I’d say 50 humans have ordered some after that vlog haha.

[@lukewbarrett]

Haha thanks mate. Kind words! Looking forward to some chill, but craving the next adventure already. Enjoy the Nordas! Hopefully they’re as good to you are they are to me. 🤙

[@JustinGLockwood]

Been waiting for this video and it did not disappoint. Great job mate!

[@lukewbarrett]

Haha thanks mate! The Grampians as a whole didn’t disappoint. 👌

[@paulmoran8530]

Great vid and race mate #beastly

[@lukewbarrett]

Thanks Paul! 🤙

[@user-ln6sf8uc6z]

Nice one well done mate! The sound of wildlife at dawn was awesome!

[@lukewbarrett]

Thanks mate! Actually such an incredible place.

[@riccardorovesta97]

Hey man! Congratulations on a great year of running. I love watching your videos! Every single video is like watching a movie. I don't know how you don't have millions of views. Keep it up! See ya Ps: watching your videos cost me Norda's 285€😂 but they're totally worth it 👍🏻

[@lukewbarrett]

Hahahah thanks mate. Kind words. Glad you’re enjoying the Nordas too!

[@nathanconstable]

Awesome viewing Luke, good work on your 4th

[@lukewbarrett]

Thanks so much! Solid way to wrap up the year. 🥳

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching.

That race looks amazing... well done!

[@lukewbarrett]

Seriously incredible. Pictures don’t do it justice!

[@runningforviews]

Why does it always rain on race day 😂 Amazing performance!

[@lukewbarrett]

Literally the first summer miler I haven’t run though snow 😂. Bloody erratic mountain weather…

[@floearthling7449]

Amazing effort Luke!!! You definitely deserve a decent break!!!

[@lukewbarrett]

Looking forward to the rest, while also planning next years adventures!

[@eamon5]
