MEDIA: The Most Ultra Marathon
Andre Jones has started his year long run around Australia to raise money for Beyond Blue, the GO Foundation, the Royal Flying Doctor Service and The Smith Family.
The 15,000km run is four times longer than Andre’s previous run, which almost went unfinished due to a poisonous ant bit. His last run, in 2017 raised $10,000 for Beyond Blue, and this time around, Andre has upped the ante, aiming to raise $60,000 to be split amongst his four chosen charities.
This year’s run started on the 10th of March from the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Andre will be running anti clockwise around the coast of Australia pulling with him 80kg of food, supplies and other necessities, to make it back to Melbourne by the 14th of February 2020.
We wish Andre the very best!
