Bondi to Manly & Kosci 100 Double

By Christopher Devlin Join Me

Help me make it meaningful

Building off my efforts at the Gold Coast Marathon in 2022 & 2023 I've signed up for a punishing double header of the Bondi to Manly Ultra (80km) in late October, closely followed by the Kosci 100km in early December!

In an effort to make this about more than my pride I am trying to fundraise to help Black Dog Institute. I would really appreciate your support in trying to raise at least $2000 and hopefully more!

Black Dog Institute has a vision for a mentally healthier world and is the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan.

They aim to significantly reduce the incidence of mental illness and suicide, remove stigma and empower all people to live the most mentally healthy life possible.

I've had my struggles with depression over the years but have been luckier than many. By making a donation you are helping Black Dog turn their world-class research into life-saving action for those who need it most. Your support helps to fund education programs, digital tools and apps, clinical services and community webinars.

Science. Compassion. Action!

Thank you, I really appreciate your support.

1 Week Out

Sunday 22nd Oct
Just finished my last long run before the first Long Run!  The training is almost done, only a few short sessions this week before the big day.

A massive thank you to everybody who has already sponsored me.  I wasn't sure I'd make the $2k mark so to hit it a week out is a big boost.

Overall I'm in good shape and feeling pretty confident about my ability to get around the course.  Having run it a few times now I'm in no doubt that the last leg from Clontarf to Manly is going to be brutal!

Still as the coach said... 'it's what you signed up for.'

I'll post details of the race tracker here before the gun goes on Saturday so you can keep track of progress.

Thanks
Chris
