The Long Run 2026

I’m making prostate cancer history.

Long Run Completed

Every stride this September has been in respect for every man and family affected by Prostate Cancer.

This was my first year raising funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer and I can only hope that through sharing my message I can encourage more men to make time for their health, to see their doctor, have the conversation and get tested.

I honestly hope that the future for men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer will be brighter, with better testing, better treatments, better recovery and most of all a cure.

A huge thank you to all my family friends and all sponsors that have supported me and donated.

Be kind to yourself and each other, stay healthy and happy in body and mind.

Day 16 Maroochy Moonlighters Hash House Harriers

Final run in this Long Run campaign. First time at a Moonlighters Hash, a very flat course around the lakes at Birtinya and Kawana, I really enjoyed the run despite the usual false trails I seem to find myself running, many thanks to all sponsors.

Day 15 Mount Ninderry

More walking than running today to the top of Mount Ninderry. Awesome views of the coast towards Coolum. Lots of Kangaroos around the lower slopes. Many thanks to all sponsors donations.

Day 14 Mujimba Park Run

First time at Mujimba park run, huge crowd. Met Dave and Kristy Jones and tried out their game day gummies. Many thanks to all sponsors.

Day 13 Hinterland Hash House Harriers

Great evening run through the Eumundi conservation park with the Hinterland Hash House Harriers. I managed at least 3 false trails as per usual.Great support many thanks, On On

Day 12 Yandina

Casual afternoon jog around the village from Adventure HQ. Down through the sports fields, past the Spirit house Thai restaurant and cookery school. past the historical house and museum and the ginger factory. You can catch a train to Brisbane for 50 cents from Yandina. I was tempted to stop at the pub for a cold one, but will enjoy more when the challenge is completed. Great enjoyable run. Many thanks to all sponsors.

Day 11 Hinterland

A great start today from Hinterland Adventure HQ. Up the hill to Wappa Dam, saw the black swans and great views across the falls, slow going up the, across the Maroochy river and back to the start, huge thanks to all sponsors.

Day 10 Parklakes Park Run

First time at Parklands Park run in Bli Bli, a very casual 4 laps around the lake. Many thanks to the volunteers and all sponsors.

Day 9 Shelley Beach to Caloundra

Great start today from Shelley Beach, many thanks to Marcus and Sam for the best coffee the 'Beach side Barista's'. Stunning coastline around the beaches of Caloundra, a real run of discovery. Came to a dead end at one point (Pelican Brief). But soon got back on the path to the end of the Sunshine Coast Coastline, 10.68 satisfying K's, Seano support driver gave me a ride back to the Beachside Barista's for a delicious Brekky wrap and coffee, thanks mate, more tomorrow, many thanks to all sponsors. 

Day 8 Warana to Shelly Beach

Strava glitch again today, running into the wind to Lake Currimundi had to swim accross, should have checked the tides. It was still a very satisfying 11 k’s, Warana to just past Shelly beach, many thanks to all sponsors.

Day 7 La Balsa Park to Warana

Slightly more challenging today due to late start and negotiating the rocky headland at point Cartwright with an incoming tide. Awesome run though starting at La Balsa Park. Many thanks to all sponsors for donating. 

Day 6 Cotton Tree to Mooloolaba

Running South of the Maroochy river today from Cotton Tree to Mooloolaba spit via Alexandra headland. Another stunning day, many thanks to all sponsors.

Day 5 Marcoola to Maroochy River

Awesome run in the wind and rain today, hardly saw anyone else on the beach and waves too gnarly for surfing. 7.34k’s from Marcoola to the end of the beach at the Maroochy river mouth. Many thanks to all sponsors and Seano for a ride back to Marcoola.

Day 4 Coolum to Marcoola

Coolum to Marcoola 6.35 k’s, a bit of uphill and through the bush to get back on to the beach below point Arkwright. Nothing beats running along the surf line dodging the breakers. Rehydrating at the Marcoola surf club at the finish. Thanks to Sean for a ride back to Coolum👍and a huge thanks for all sponsors donations to date🙏🏻

Day 3 Peregian Beach to Coolum

Started where I finished yesterday at Peregian Beach. A swift 5.63 k’s to Coolum surf club dodging the many off leash dogs, great to see though. Another stunning day, many thanks to all sponsors.

Day 2 Sunshine Beach to Perigean Beach

Started at Sunshine beach where I finished yesterday. Barefoot along the beach with the sound of the South Pacific Ocean to Perigean Beach, 9 k’s had Strava finger trouble which paused halfway (honest🤦🏻‍♂️). Had pancakes and caught the bus back to Sunshine, awesome run, many thanks to all sponsors🙏🏻

Day 1 Noosa Spit to Sunshine Beach

Absolute stunning first day of spring to start the challenge. Plenty of foot traffic to dodge through the national park, nearly went for a swim at Alexandria bay. My buddy Sean met me at Sunshine beach and gave me a ride back to the Spit, thanks mate. Many thanks to all sponsors thus far 🙏🏻😎

The Start

My personal challenge is to run the length of the Sunshine Coast from Noosa to Caloundra in stages, I will confirm the actual distance when completed. I will be starting from Noosa Spit on Tuesday 1st Sep @ 09:00 planning to run through the national park to Sunshine beach surf club. I will be running one way South down the coast as close as possible along the beach and coastal pathways. Getting the bus and rides from mates back to the start each day.A hearty thank you to all sponsors.

I’m taking on The Long Run

This September for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, I’m giving it all I’ve got by taking part in The Long Run.

Prostate cancer is Australia’s leading cause of cancer, with 79 men newly diagnosed every day.

Will you donate today to raise funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and help end the pain of prostate cancer? Together, we can make prostate cancer history.

Thank you. 💙🙏
