Would You Run 560kms
in 7 Days?

Starting on October 26, 2024, Rodney 'Rocket' Cottam will embark on his most gruelling challenge yet—running an astonishing 560kms in just 7 days. That’s 80kms every day, starting in Western NSW and finishing in the heart of Sydney CBD on November 1st.

But this isn’t just about pushing physical limits. Rodney’s mission is to raise $56,000 for Invictus Australia, supporting our brave veterans who have faced their own battles and challenges.

Every kilometre he runs is a step closer to his goal, and with your support, we can make a real difference together. Please donate now to help Rodney reach the finish line and his $56,000 goal. Your contribution, big or small, will directly support Invictus Australia and the heroes who inspire us all.

  • Resilience through running

    "Our Mission is to promote mental and physical resilience through running."
