Cross-Canada Kiwi runner launches bid to tackle length of NZ

The Kiwi ultra-runner who managed to work his way through Canada has got his sights set on tackling New Zealand.

Earlier this year, Jon Nabbs completed a 305-day, 7351km run across the entire width of Canada, solo and unsupported, to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation.

Nabbs says he expects to complete this endeavour in 35 days, while setting a Guinness World Record in the process.

"I'm so chuffed that I've had the energy to do so - it might just seem like a bit of a wally run in a Superman suit, but when I actually meet people in person, it really does seem to bring something to them."
