Reach Out Speak Up Run 2024
Fran Hurndall is a young woman undertaking a courageous and extraordinary journey. Beginning in September 2024, Fran will be attempting to run from Perth to Sydney for her initiative – Reach Out Speak Up to raise awareness about domestic and family violence and raise $1 million in the process for charities such as RizeUp Australia and Share the Dignity.
Testing the boundaries of human endurance, former professional athlete Fran will be aiming to cover approximately 3,800 km in just 34 days accompanied by a dedicated support team. She will be aiming to break the current world record run from Perth to Sydney by five days, currently held by Chris Turnbull at 39 days in 2023, to become the fastest person to ever cross the country across three states. She will be the first woman in history to attempt this feat in under 40 days.
