His run beat the previous record of 39 days and earns him the fastest foot crossing of Australia.

Goodge has been raising money for the Cancer Council of Australia in memory of his mother, who died in 2018.

At about 3 pm, hundreds of fellow runners gathered to join Goodge at Centennial Park in Sydney’s east, before the group set off towards their destination at Bondi Beach.
