Meet Jack Ultra-Cyclist! – an extreme athlete holding multiple world records and a Guinness World Records badge to his name. Scotch alumnus, Jack ‘Ultra-Cyclist’ Thompson will be joining us after his world-record attempt of riding 1067km ‘non-stop’ along the Munda Biddi Trail to break the current world record. We are hosting a very special sundowner with Jack & project partner, digital mental health and wellbeing platform Oqea on Friday 1 December.

Get ready for a night of inspirational storytelling of incredible resilience and true grit, what it takes to become a new World Record champion while managing mental health challenges and giving back to the community and our youth. This in-person event promises to be an unforgettable experience.
