Tom SmitheringaleBorn in Perth, Western Australia to English parents, Tom spent most of his childhood in the suburb of Cottesloe finishing his secondary education in England. He spent 5 years in the British Army before returning home to Fremantle. He is passionate about the great outdoors, travelling annually to New Zealand to climb in the South Island and regularly runs guided trips in WA's Stirling Ranges.
Tom is an accomplished adventure racer competing in many extreme multi-day events often without sleep that involve a variety of outdoor sports such as mountain biking, running / trekking, abseiling, climbing, and kayaking. When he's not pulling a sled, Tom divides his time between working as a personal trainer and preparing for his next expedition applying the lessons he has learned in almost two decades of pushing his limits.
