Dave is an Athletics Australia‑accredited Recreational Running Coach based in Canberra, with a passion for helping runners of all levels — from first‑time Parkrunners to seasoned ultra marathon athletes. Equally at home on a 35 km long run or a relaxed jog with his partner (who proudly ran her first nonstop Parkrun in 2024), Dave believes running is for everyone. If you’re keen to talk about, get involved in, or improve at running, he’s always ready to share his time and knowledge.

Finishing consistently in the top 15–25% of race fields, Dave has tackled some of the toughest events in Australia and New Zealand, including The Guzzler 100 (Brisbane), Blackall 100 (Mapleton), Buffalo Stampede 100 km, UT Kosci Miler, and the TUM Miler (New Zealand). He’s twice completed the legendary Coast to Kosci 240 km in 2023 and 2024, and is currently training hard around Canberra for the GPT Miler and a return to Bright for Buffalo Sampede 2026.
