Cottesloe to Bondi. Coast to coast. Chasing the record.
I’m running across Australia with one goal: to show what’s possible when you push past comfort, past limits, and do something that scares the shit out of you — because on the other side of fear is the version of you that actually shows up when it matters. This is about proving that we’re capable of more than we think, especially when everything hurts and quitting would be easier.
Started running following the death of my mum to cancer. There was never any plan to be here now, it was just a way to help me deal with my sadness at the time. I respected her too much to simply throw my life away and could have easily chosen another route into drugs and alcohol.
That started a whirlwind adventure into running as far as I could. 8 months after my first marathon I ran the length of the UK in 2019, I then did 48 Marathons in 30 days and Ran Across America.
The theme of doing ‘something stupid’ every other year continues to now. Shooting for the record across Australia. I’d like thank and give my full respect to everyone who has ran this path before me.
Dean Bartlett, Chief Everything Officer from Melbourne, Australia. Will’s right hand man and creative, living the dream traveling the world doing cool shit.
About to hit this massive adventure across my home country really looking forward to seeing all the landscapes along the way and not really looking forward to the lack of sleep/sleepless nights but fuck it that’s what it’s all about
My brother has been caravanning around the country with his family for the past year and has given us some great insight and tips to navigate what’s to come. Big ups brother Mark! We’ll be calling you a lot on this tour.
As a former US Marine, combat veteran, and long time professional coach, Jason is a problem solving mother fucker well suited to take the lead in Will’s world record attempt.
Jason and Will have a unique friendship, forged in the fires of spiritual journey and hardened in the gauntlet of ultra endurance racing. They enjoy long runs in companionable silence and and share a belief in action and hard work over everything.
Jason coaches with his long time friend, coach, and mentor, Steve Sisson, at Telos Running, an Austin, TX based coaching program specializing in providing elite level training for every day athletes. He lives in Buena Vista, CO where he loves to get lost in the mountains.
Also referred to as Don D, is a Los Angeles based creative. First meeting Will and Dean in Colorado on a 247 campaign shoot, he then set off to join the crew for MOAB 240. Since then, he’s worked with the team to build out the YouTube channel and is now returning to crew and capture all that happens for The Record Down Under.
I’ve had my ups and downs as have a lot of people. I have two fantastic boys (now young men), Alex and Will who I’m very proud of.
I lost my wife Mandy 7 years ago to cancer and we all miss her.
I’m now retired having previously had a carpentry business. I love cycling, playing golf, going to the pub and my holidays abroad.
I’m most looking forward to the experience I suppose and hoping it runs very, very smoothly!
