Co-Event Director (with his wife Gemma), Shipwreck parkrun, Western Australia; record-breaking backyard ultra runner
Backyard ultra running, the last-person-standing format, his 50-hour win at Herdy's (just shy of his own 51-hour Australian record), his 38-hour win at Hysterical Carnage, planning out to 120 hours, his crew system and Gemma's role, the growth of the discipline in Australia (Chris Martin, Chetan, Michael Hooker, Big Kev), the new Devil's Lair backyard ultra in Tasmania and his ambition to run Big's Backyard in Tennessee in 2023. Then parkrun: his daily 5K streak, course records (including six of seven on a South Australian trip), 286 parkruns at 51 locations, how he found parkrun in 2014 via Canning River after being defeated by Pioneer's course map, becoming co-ED at Shipwreck, his upcoming volunteer 50, and a pitch for WA parkruns near Perth Airport (Claisebrook Cove and Burswood Peninsula) for Palm 23.
