Run Rocket Run finishes 500km run in 106 hours
Rodney Cottam, Resimac’s regional sales manager for NSW, ACT, and Queensland, has completed his second Run Rocket Run long-distance challenge after running from Coffs Harbour to the ANZAC Memorial in Sydney between 3–7 July. Over his gruelling trail run challenge, Mr Cottam — a military veteran who is paralysed in his left arm as a result of spinal nerve damage from a motorbike accident — covered 500km in just 106 hours to raise awareness and funds for veteran charity Invictus Australia. As well as hoping to raise $100,000 to support the wellbeing of veterans and their families, the ex-military man of the 3rd Battalion (Royal Australian Regiment) said he was promoting physical, mental, and emotional resilience through running, under his moniker Run Rocket Run.
