Completed: Rodney 'Rocket' Cottam's 500km Trail Run

Rodney 'Rocket' Cottam completed his second trail run challenge, covering a gruelling 500km in just 106 hours, averaging an incredible 100km per day. From Monday, 3rd July to Friday, 7th July 2023, Rodney's journey took him from the Mid-North Coast, NSW, down the eastern coast of Australia, through breathtaking ocean views, lush rainforests, small towns, and farmland, culminating in the heart of Sydney at the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park.

This challenge tested not only physical endurance but also mental resilience. With a dedicated support team of four, a Defender, and a campervan as their mobile base, Rodney and his crew navigated the demanding terrain and sleep deprivation, often running through the night. The campervan provided crucial rest periods, allowing the team to manage the intense demands of the challenge.

Powered by his unwavering resilience and determination, Rodney's efforts supported Invictus Australia, raising funds and awareness for this vital cause. This achievement marks another milestone in Rodney's ongoing mission to inspire and educate others on the power of resilience and the importance of facing adversity head-on. Challenge images are here.
