Jubilation erupted shortly after 6 o'clock on an otherwise quiet and misty morning here
00:06
at Sydney Olympic Park.
00:08
After spending the last 12 and a half days running laps around the Athletic Centre, Ned
00:12
Brockman crossed the finish line, having run over 1,600 kilometres.
00:17
While he narrowly missed his goal of running the distance in 10 days, he was still met
00:21
with plenty of cheers from friends and family.
00:24
Mr Brockman's uncomfortable challenge has seen him raise almost double what he raised
00:28
two years ago, when he ran from Perth to Sydney over the course of six weeks.
00:32
As of this morning, the fundraiser has collected more than $2.5 million, which will go towards
00:37
homelessness charity We Are Mobilise.
00:39
Ned Brockman started out the event with injuries to his shins, and has since sustained damage
00:44
to his shoulders, knees and feet.
00:46
But with the achievement under his belt, he says he's keen for a shower and a well-deserved
00:50
rest.
