Partner Information
The Indigenous Marathon Foundation (IMF) was established in 2009 by world marathon champion, Rob de Castella, and in 2010 four Indigenous Australians created history as the first to run in the world’s biggest marathon – the New York City Marathon – as part of the Indigenous Marathon Project.
Running and physical activity underpin all IMF programs (such as the Indigenous Marathon Project and Deadly Running). The IMF is committed to providing social, inclusive, and fun environments for people to adopt active and healthy lifestyles.
In 2018, Stuart mentored IMP Graduate Zibeon Fielding from Mimili, South Australia. Zibeon was already on his own running journey to raise money for a dialysis machine in the A.P.Y. Lands, and he and Stuart ran both the Boston Marathon and Tokyo Marathon, raising funds and awareness.
