The Australian Centurions
were formed in 1971 to honour the feat of those athletes who walk 100 Miles within 24 hours on Australian shores. Yep...that's right...WALK 100 MILES WITHIN 24 HOURS..So far, we have 57 members of this exclusive club, the first in 1938 (Gordon Smith - C 1) and the last three in 2009. Who will be next?
