About Pat Farmer
Having run across the United States of America, around Australia and vertically to the height of Mount Everest, Pat Farmer is one of the world's best ultra marathon runners. His history of courage, determination and endurance place him in a class of his own.
Pat holds two world records for crossing the Simpson Desert, is ranked third in the world for 1,000 miles on a track and finished second in the 4,719km Trans America run in 1993. Pat dedicates much of his public life to charity. He represents many charities and is constantly on the look-out for new challenges that help generate awareness about various causes involving people less fortunate than himself.
For instance, in 1998 Pat ran up and down Sydney's 87 floors AMP Tower for a marathon 24 hours to raise money for autism. In the process he established a new record for vertical long distance running, by climbing 101,934 stairs which was the equivalent to running up Mount Everest!
Pat is a patriotic Australian, an Australia Day Ambassador and a Federal Member of Parliament for his local seat of Macarthur. He is an outstanding public and motivational speaker empowering people from all walks of life to take challenges head on. Pat also prides himself on being an average Australian, albeit one who pursues exceptional challenges.
