Building major projects is often more of a marathon than a sprint, and one man who takes that quite literally is John Holland Site Supervisor Andrew "Thorpey" Thorpe.
Thorpey, who's working on the Pakenham Level Crossing Removal Project in Melbourne, recently completed the Great World Race - running seven marathons, on seven continents, in seven days.
All up he ran close to 300km and spent about 62 hours on a plane, running races in Antarctica, South Africa, Australia, Turkiye and North and South America across one week.
A proud Gunnai and Gunditjmara man and dad of four, Thorpey says his motivation is "inspiring others to get into health and fitness. And on a personal level, my kids get to see what I do and realise anything is possible."
Thorpey has also been raising money for the Black Dog Institute along the way. Follow his journey at @fitness_dadda
