In the beginning...

Completing the greatest run in movie history was only the beginning of the story.

Rob Pope is about to become the first person in history to run between the start and end points of an AC/DC tour!

A qualifier for the Rio Olympic Games as the 2015 AUSTRALIAN MEN’S MARATHON CHAMPION

First person ever to complete the entire Forrest Gump run 5 TIMES across the USA - a real life Forrest Gump

THREE WORLD RECORDS – including the longest run ever in a single country, and fastest marathon film character.

Rob now plans to tackle the Highway to Help, and would appreciate your help to make a difference along the way.

The Run - It's A Long Way To The Top

Rob will be following AC/DC's 2025 Australian tour along the Eastern Coast of Australia - from the count in at the first concert in Melbourne, northwards to Sydney, and while the band heads west to thrill Adelaide and Perth, Rob will carry on north to make the fireworks of the last AC/DC show in Brisbane.

All up, the Highway to Help run will cover:

• 2,000km

• 70+km a day

• 4 weeks

START POINT: The MCG, Melbourne – 16th November 2025

FINISH LINE: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane – 18th December 2025, maybe even the 14th if Rob shakes a leg.

The One Rule

When Rob ran the equivalent of the North to the South Pole and back he had one rule. And he never broke it...

When AC/DC were playing in his headphones, he could never stop. Another AC/DC song, another kilometre.

The GREATEST BAND ON EARTH will carry him along again. The one rule still applies, this time on the Highway to Help.

The Mission - Making A High Voltage Difference

Rob has raised over $100,000 for charities across the US and UK.

NOW IT’S AUSTRALIA’S TURN.

The mission is to raise AUD$100,000 for The Smith Family, NSPCC (two incredible charities helping children living through poverty, disadvantage and cruelty) and the WWF (here for our planet and therefore all of us!) - and Rob would appreciate your help to help him hit this target.

100% OF FUNDS RAISED HERE WILL GO TO CHARITY

Up To My Leg In You

Please dig deep and help Rob complete his mission and hit his charity fundraising target.

You can also take pleasure in adding to the pain in his legs, by being a part of the Tattoo Totaliser.

Your donations contribute to the filling in of a hollow lightning bolt tattoo on Rob's leg.
