Herdy's Frontyard Ultra

On March 21 Professor Paulo de Souza, Executive Dean, Engineering will tackle the world’s largest backyard ultramarathon, the Herdy’s Frontyard Ultra, to raise $60,000 for ECU students facing financial hardship.

We're calling on you to support this extraordinary cause through a donation big or small, every donation counts.

Financial stress is now the #2 reason why students are discontinuing their degrees. Every day we have students needing emergency food relief, and support with other basic necessities.

100% of funds raised support ECU’s Inspiring Minds Equity Scholarship Fund.

Professor Paulo de Souza is the Executive Dean of Edith Cowan University's School of Engineering.

Join us at the event

We'll be at the start line at Herdsman Lake on Friday to cheer Paulo along. Come and join us. We'd love to see you there!
