Jack Sinclair
Updated 23 March, 2012: At just 19 years of age, Gold Coast resident Jack Sinclair would rank up there as one of the fittest guys in Australia.
He’s the youngest person ever to cycle across Australia – 4,500 kms from Perth to Surfers Paradise in just 30 days.
Jack’s also:
- A Marathoner (he did Gold Coast Marathon as a 16 yo),
- Half Ironman Triathlete,
- Holds the current school team record for the grueling 96 km Kokoda Challenge,
- did a staggering 1,200 km solo run around Tasmania in just 27 days.
Jack regularly competes at the Noosa Tri in a family team with his old dad Brendon and big sister Laura.
In a 4 week period as a 17 year old Jack:
- Ran the Gold Coast Half Marathon in 1 hr 32 minutes,
- Was a member of the record breaking 96 km Kokoda Challenge team,
- Ran the Brisbane Half Marathon (3rd in his age group)
Next up is a crack at 14 hours for the 96 Kokoda Challenge (would get him, his brother and 2 mates about 3rd), mountaineering in New Zealand, skiing in Japan and climbing Mount Kilamanjaro.
He’s a busy lad! Jack also flies solo out of Gold Coast Airport, whilst he studies for his commercial license at Uni.
Does A Lot For Others
We’re particularly proud to sponsor Jack as he’s a young guy who does a lot for others.
- If you’ve ever done the well-known Sydney to Surfers Bike Ride, then you might know Jack as the guy who donated, developed and still manages the great web site.
- He’s raised many thousands of dollars for charity, with money raised from his 2008 across Australia ride used to start youth mentoring service Big Brothers Big Sisters in Brisbane.
- His charity work has seen him recognised as a Finalist in the Young Australian of the Year Awards in 2010 (1 of 4 Queensland finalists).
Thanks for the products David – the Hammer stuff got us across Australia. It’s great knowing I have the right stuff every time I do an event – feels like I have a big advantage before I even start.”
