Run Geordie Run Mark Allison completes Australia crossing. A man who temporarily gave up his bid to run 2,400 miles across Australia for charity has completed his challenge. Mark Allison, known as Run Geordie Run, reached Shellharbour on the countrys Pacific coast at 23:50 GMT on Saturday. Ive done it - I cant go any further, because thats the Pacific Ocean, he said. The 42-year-old from Blyth, Northumberland, set off from Perth in October and said he was relieved and exhausted. He was just 180 miles from the finish in December when he decided it was too dangerous to continue because his route followed a busy motorway. His feet were also in an awful condition. But within 24 hours he had changed his mind and decided to follow a more difficult, but safer, path. So far, he has raised more than his £50,000 target for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and The Childrens Foundation.
