Painathlon was conceived by Notre Dame Medical Student Jonathan Hague in early 2007. His idea was to compile all the toughest fitness runs he had come to know round Perth during cross-training and combine them into one massive impossible event. The inaugural Painathalon took place in August 2007, with local Ironman Brad Hosking demolishing the field in just over 7.5 hours. The event was a great success and participants raised over $8500 for Variety WA childrens Charity.
The total race distance is about 160km, made up of 117km cycling, 20km flat running and 23km of hellish hill climbs! Competitors must attempt 10 of Perth's toughest physical challenges.
