Top trail athlete joins team CurraNZ

We’re thrilled to officially welcome elite trail runner Michael Dunstan to the CurraNZ team!

A force on the trails and a familiar name in the Australian ultrarunning scene, Michael has been quietly testing CurraNZ since November 2024 - and now, he’s all in.

He says: “I first grew increasingly curious about CurraNZ after seeing many of the trail athletes who inspire me using the product,” says Michael.
“After reading the studies, I figured it was worth a shot - and now it’s a key part of my routine. I wouldn’t go without it.”

Michael first gave CurraNZ a go while stocking up on race nutrition for the Buffalo Stampede 100km. With just a few months of training left, he added the purple pills to his plan - and noticed the difference quickly.

“I feel more efficient, I can push harder for longer, and my recovery has noticeably improved. Even during high-load training weeks, I’m able to stay fresher and recover faster. That makes a huge difference not just in training, but in everyday life.”

Trail Results That Speak for Themselves

Based in the rugged beauty of the Blue Mountains, Michael’s resume is already stacked with podiums and course records:

  • 🥇 1st – Buffalo Stampede 100k 2025 (Course Record)

  • 🥉 3rd – UTMB Snowdonia Wales 100-mile 2024

  • 🥈 2nd – Hounslow Classic Marathon 2024

  • 🥇 1st – GPT100 Miler 2023 (Course Record)

  • 🥉 3rd – Madeira Island Ultra Trail 85km 2023

With a stellar track record and smart, disciplined training, Michael embodies everything we value: performance, consistency, and a passion for pushing limits the right way.

Eyes on UTMB

Michael’s major race target this year? UTMB France - the pinnacle of international trail running.

We couldn’t be more excited to support him as he tackles this challenge, powered by purple.
