Erchana Murray-Bartlett’s energy isn’t just infectious…it’s endemic in the sheer presence of her voice.
Having just finished run through Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Land/Sunny Coast, I spoke with the vivacious 32-year-old on the phone on Day 83 of her exhilarating 6200km adventure, which saw the road-less-travelled runner kick off one-marath-on-a-day on Friday, 19 August 2022.
It’s an unbelievable feat in itself to run long distances, but tackling 42.2km every single day for approximately 150 days (give or take a rest day if needed) is something else. Starting at the tip of Australia in Cape York, Queensland with an aim to finish in Melbourne, Erchana set her sights on running each marathon early in the morning to make room for sharing her journey as well as her ‘why’ with as many people as possible in the afternoon – it’s called Tip to Toe 2022.
And what is her ‘why’ you may be asking. Erchana didn’tto do something about it.
