‘Inspiring, courageous’: Nedd Brockmann completes epic 1,000-mile charity run
- Ultra runner raises $2.6m for people experiencing homelessness
- Australian runs an average 128km per day at Sydney Olympic Park
Nedd Brockmann’s 1,000-mile (1,609km) charity run has been dubbed “Australian of the year type shit” by Dylan Alcott, the wheelchair tennis star who won the award in 2022, after the runner completed his challenge at 6.17am on Wednesday.
Alcott’s message of support to Brockmann is one of dozens from Australia’s athletic and celebrity elite celebrating the end of his arduous near-two-week run in which he averaged 128km per day around an athletics track at Sydney Olympic Park.
