Tony Rafferty

Tony is a former body-builder who arrived in Australia from Ireland in 1960 and worked at a fitness centre. His idea to run from Sydney to Melbourne was actually a promotions idea for the centre, but it marked the start of his running career.

Tony has many ‘first runs’ to his name – including Melbourne to Sydney 1972, Fremantle to Surfers Paradise, Perth to Brisbane and the ‘impossible’ run through Death Valley in California in 1979.

Now in his 60s Tony excels as a motivator and draws on his experiences to teach and encourage others, not only in sports, but also in life generally.
