Baxter's Trot Around the Clock

Hi, I’m Baxter, and on April 26th at 9:00 am, I’ll be taking on a challenge that’s both exciting and meaningful to me: running 5 kilometres every hour for 24 hours, covering a total of 120 kilometres. I’ll be kicking things off at Nobby’s Beach Carpark, where I’ll set up my base camp. If you’d like to support me, that’s where you’ll find me during my breaks between runs.

This challenge isn’t just about pushing myself—it’s about bringing people together. I’d love for anyone to join me, whether it’s for a single 5 kilometre loop, a few laps, or even just to hang out and cheer me on during the day or night.

So, why am I doing this? Physical activity has always been a huge part of my life, and I believe our bodies are made to help us achieve incredible things, not hold us back. For 2025, one of my biggest goals is to give back to my community in a meaningful way. That’s why I’m dedicating this effort to raise funds for Active Inclusive, a Newcastle-based organisation that’s close to my heart.

Active Inclusive creates opportunities for adults with disabilities to participate in sports, therapies, and mentoring, helping them build confidence, independence, and stronger connections within the community. Their work is inspiring, and I want to do my part to support it.

It would mean the world to me if you’d support this challenge in any way you can - whether that’s running alongside me, cheering from the sidelines, or making a donation to this fantastic cause.
