Australian woman’s record-breaking run from continent’s ‘tip to toe’

Five months after setting out from the tip of Australia, marathon runner Erchana Murray-Bartlett has reached the country’s southern edge.

The 32-year-old on Monday finished her 6,300km (3,900 miles) journey – a marathon every day for 150 days.

Ms Murray-Bartlett’s effort sets a new world record for the most consecutive daily marathons by a woman.

And she has raised over A$100,000 (£57,000, $70,000) for conservation charity the Wilderness Society.
