Multiple world record holder, Australia Day ambassador, former member of Parliament and ultra-marathon runner Patrick Farmer has a new challenge this year... Called the Spirit of India run, this sea to summit race will see him sprinting from Kanyakumari to Kashmir in 66 days, and in true Aussie spirit, he's hoping to raise $100,000 for the education of the girl child in India...
Pat Farmer is no stranger to world records or challenges that seem impossible to complete. He holds world records for running from the North Pole to the South Pole, for running across Australia's Simpson desert in record time, and last year, he ran for Peace in the Middle East.
His newest challenge will now take him to India, covering a distance of 4600 kms in two months, running nearly two marathons a day!! And all of this - for a great cause!
He'll commence the epic Spirit of India run on January 26, 2016, which is both Australia Day and the Republic Day of India. Mr Farmer has promised Manpreet K Singh of SBS Punjabi, that he'll call in every two weeks from India, to tell us about his progress.
