What a way to start the racing year! The Boss for team @runrocketrun had her first race of the season and kicked it off with a win. 1st female and 9th overall at @noosaultratrail 100km. She finished over 1hr ahead of the 2nd place woman and only 4mins behind 7th overall. Superhuman effort. It was incredibly tough all day with the heat and humidity.
All the hard work and effort put into training paid off.
Shout out to @theflexhaus and @bodyarmour.au

Don’t let fear or other peoples views hold you back. Take on things you don’t think are possible. Do hard things.

Check out this incredible article on Rodney Cottam's 560km journey in just 7 days! Supported by Resimac, Rodney's run wasn’t just about testing limits—it was about raising awareness and funds for a great cause. His determination, grit, and community support made this challenge truly inspiring.

Rodney is just 7km from the finish line and about to cross the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. The end is in sight, and every step feels monumental. So close now—let’s cheer him all the way home!

Rodney’s just had lunch by the beach in Manly and is now on his way to the city. With the finish line almost in sight, he’s running one of his favourite stretches—the Manly to city coastal route. He knows this path like the back of his hand, so there’s no need for maps, just one foot in front of the other.
On his team for this final leg: Amanda, his rock, and Recee, the triathlete soon-to-be ultra-runner. To make city movements smoother, we’re back in a Land Rover Defender, courtesy of Parramatta Land Rover. The power team is in full stride, and Rodney can almost taste the finish. Let’s bring it home!

Rodney and Amanda powered through Lane Cove National Park in the dark this morning, tackling technical trails and even dealing with a few leeches!
They’re now joined by Recee—who just ran his first-ever 50km yesterday—and Logan, a key support crew member from last year’s challenge. Together, they’re pushing through Manly Dam, making great time with 4km in the bank from the last six days.
The excitement is building, and Rodney is feeling superhuman as the finish line draws near.

A thunderstorm shook us awake at 1:30am, setting the tone for this final push. To make the finish line by 4pm, we’re up at 2am and hitting the road by 3am. Rodney’s not even sure he has a body anymore—just pain—but his mind is sharp and focused. We’ll reach Manly by midday, ready for that last push to the Resimac finish line.
He’s stepping off this morning in the rain, and it’s only firing him up more. This is it.

What a shift! We’ve gone from a baking 30-degree sun to full-blown thunderstorms, but Rodney’s keeping his pace, pushing through the pain and getting it done. Through it all, Amanda is there, always waiting and watching for him, ready to cheer him on. This journey isn’t giving him an easy day, but he’s determined to finish strong. Almost there!

We thought we knew what hot was earlier this week, but today is on a whole new level. Thank you, Penrith—you sure know how to bring the heat! Rodney and Recee paused for lunch at the 40km mark, and with a Zooper Dooper in hand, they’re back on the road, tackling this scorcher head-on.

“When we believe in ourselves, we are capable of so much more than we think. We can push ourselves, physically and mentally, way past any perceived threshold. And this journey—this commitment to ourselves—is an incredibly special and rewarding one.”
