Cliffy Young - Australian Ultrarunning Legend

 Coming soon - His running biography, Tributes, photos, news stories and lots  more

Sixty one year old Cliff Young became a household name in 1983 when he beat all of the starters and won the first Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultra Marathon.  He wasn't known before the race  - but was certainly know after that.  Apart from winning the inaugural Westfield Run, Cliff also achieved many other brilliant performances in his ultra career which included several Ultra age records.  He was also the "Boy from the Bush" with a larrikin wit and a heart of gold. This endeared him to many people over the years
