ZERO600

Written By Chris Paterson

Rodney and Chris’ Thoughts ‍
ZERO600. At Run Rocket Run we start the day with something physical. A run, a gym session, a walk. Whatever it may be to set you up for a successful day.

From 1 June to 6 June, join Team Run Rocket Run for Invictus Australia’s ZERO600 campaign to get active at 6:00am and raise funds for veteran suicide.

In Australia, we lose 6 veteran lives to suicide every month. This is unacceptable.

The ZERO600 campaign helps raise funds to deliver sporting programs for veterans and their families which can have a life changing impact on improving mental and physical health.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable by being active early in the darkness and cold for these 6 days in June.

Step 1 – Sign up and recruit your team.

  1. Find the change-maker in your organisation, team, unit or club and get them on board.
    You don’t need a title to lead.

  2. Build a team. Go to ZERO600.com.au and follow the prompts to register.

Step 2 – Pick your challenge.

  1. You can pick a challenge to bond your team, or you can encourage some friendly competition.
    Who can raise the most funds, have the most creative morning or take the best pic?

  2. Set up leaderboards, make them public, hold each other accountable through group chats and send people out stepping, running, cycling or swimming.

‍ ‍Step 3 – Share and Raise Funds.

‍ Get fundraising!

Quotes to Remember
“Don't think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some." – Jocko Willink, Retired US Navy SEAL. 

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” – Marcus Aurelius – Roman Emperor.

What’s Upcoming?
It’s race week! In four days, “The Boss” Amanda is taking on the 50km and Rodney is competing in the 100mile race in the Ultra-Trail Australia by UTMB races in the Blue Mountains, NSW.

This event is a major for the UTMB World Series and an opportunity to gain entry to the 2027 Finals in France so the pair will be giving it everything they’ve got.
