About
Michael Dunstan is a Perth-born, Blue Mountains-based Australian trail runner who came to the sport through an unconventional path — as a working indie folk singer-songwriter, he began running seriously during the COVID-19 touring shutdown. Inspired by family athletic records set by his father, he progressed rapidly from road running to elite trail ultra competition, demonstrating strong tactical racing and technical mountain terrain competence. In May 2026 he claimed the Ultra-Trail Australia 100km (UTA100) title in 9:04:19 on debut at that race. He has also competed internationally at Ultra-Trail Snowdonia (3rd, 2024) and UTMB (2025), establishing himself as one of Australia's most exciting trail prospects.
