Alina McMaster

Profile

Alina started her career as a cross-country skier winning numerous sport scholarships. She competed in the Australian cross-country ski team for many years before making the Olympic Squad in 1994. She then moved into multi-sport and rogaining where she had many early successes. This led her onto Adventure Racing. Her adventure-racing career has been extensive and successful and includes top three finishes in the Primal Quest, Eco-Challenge and the Southern Traverse. She is the driving force behind team AROC.

Leaving a more mundane existence as a lawyer behind, Alina now runs AROC Sport with husband Tom Landon-Smith.

Alina & Tom compete as a husband and wife team.
