AC/DC Fan's Epic 1200-Mile Ultramarathon
21 Dec, 2025
Summary
- A fan ran 1,200 miles across Australia.
- He dressed as AC/DC's Angus Young for the run.
- The band pledged money from guitar sales for charity.
An ultramarathon runner, Rob Pope from Liverpool, recently completed an extraordinary 1,200-mile (1,930km) journey across Australia, all while dressed as AC/DC's legendary guitarist Angus Young. Pope's ambitious challenge connected the first and last concerts of the band's Australian tour, starting in Melbourne and finishing in Brisbane.
During his run, Pope was pushing a distinctive three-wheeled stroller he affectionately named 'Rosie,' a nod to the AC/DC song "Whole Lotta Rosie." This incredible undertaking was dedicated to raising money for a charitable cause.
Meeting the band before commencing his run provided a significant boost. AC/DC pledged their support by committing to donate money raised from the sale of inflatable guitars at their shows to Pope's fundraiser, marking a unique collaboration between a fan and a rock band.
