On the morning of May 10, Susan O'Brien started the Xterra Wellington Trail Run in the Rimutaka Forest Park. Concern was raised when she failed to return. The race organisers' robust safety procedure kicked and teams scoured the area until dark. The search resumed early on May 11. Fortunately, after consuming her own breast milk, and digging herself into a hole O'Brien was located on May 11.
The situation brings up a few topics of discussion, which I hope the trail running community can use as a positive.
