Single Track Collective
Hi, I’m Nic Ayson, the overexcited trail lover and person behind Singletrack Collective.
My background hails from very early days of 5am starts as a competitive swimmer during my teenage years. This is where I etched my foundation in loving the early morning grind.
After studying for a Dip. Exercise Science, I began my coaching career working alongside an incredible coach, Ally Todd, with Team Tornados. Ally's coaching style was so positive and infectious that I will aways remember days on poolside alongside her as the best memories.
Fast forward to four children, many years of juggling a family with a complex needs child and a whooooole lot of escapism in the forest, and the idea for Singletrack Collective was born. 🌿
Running for me has been the simplest and by far the most rewarding form of time out from my time as a caregiver of my complex needs daughter.
Running has allowed me space to have some control in my day (where not much else was guaranteed) and freedom to explore my capabilities.
Running has taken me on so many magical adventures throughout Aotearoa and overseas and has forged many new and glorious friendships, that have become everlasting.
Through every success and failure, every half marathon, marathon, 50km, 67km 100km that I have run there is always a memory, a lesson, a pivotal moment that has bought to where I am today.
With Singletrack Collective my goal is to create a community of stars. 🌟
I'd love to see you ALL shining at your brightest. 💫
Dream big friends.
