New to Pickstar, Richard Thompson is described as “one of the greatest ultra-endurance athletes of all time” and is renowned for pushing the boundaries of what the human body and mind can achieve.   

Richard has carved a career as a professional Ultra Endurance athlete and has become the Ultraman World Champion and is the current World Record holder. Ultraman Triathlon is regarded as the hardest triathlon in the world entailing a 10km swim, 420km of bike riding and finishing with a 82km double marathon. 

From 13-15 May 2023 Richard is taking on Ultraman Noosa with the ambitious goal of taking 90mins off his current world record time.  The goal is to be the first human to break the elusive 20 hour barrier (www.kangurusub20challenge.com.au).  Further to this, a feature length documentary is being made about Richard and his journey due for cinematic release in late 2023.

Richard was great. Spoke to the time well and spoke to the talking points we were after. Had a good response from our principal and parents. Overall it was a great experience.

Richard was a super star who showed excitement and interest in coming to our school for our sports awards evening. His communication prior to the day was fantastic, and he was patient in helping me collect the video footage i wanted for the event. Richard was inspiring for our young athletes as he spoke about his achievements, sacrifices and goal. He was early in his arrival to the school and was happy to hang back to speak to our principle. Was a great experience having Richard speak at our event.
