British man breaks record for running across Australia
The Independent
|May 21, 2025
A British ultra-endurance athlete has broken the world record for running across Australia, taking just over a month to accomplish the feat.
William Goodge crossed the finish line at Bondi Beach in Sydney shortly after 4pm on Monday, completing the 3,800km (2,360-mile) run in 35 days. The athlete from Bedfordshire started his run in Perth on 15 April and covered about 93 miles every day, the equivalent of two and a half marathons.
Mr Goodge shattered the world record held by Australian Chris Turnbull, who ran the width of the country in 2023 in 39 days. Mr Turnbull himself had taken the record from Nedd Brockmann. The Australian electrician had completed the same run the year before in 47 days.
