About
Seagulls on the Run
Hey, we are Justine and Johnny ‘The Seagull’ aka Seagulls on the Run.
A ‘mature’ couple who are young at heart. We don’t take life too seriously adding a sprinkling of crazy to everything we do, although Johnny is known to throw in just a little bit extra every now and then.
We are proof that “you’re never too old to set another goal, or to dream a new dream” C.S Lewis.
Our passion for trail running and the great outdoors was initially fostered in the UK. Since our arrival n Australia in 2004 we incorporated these passions with our love for adventure and travel and have visited many parks and open places to run and do all the other stuff we love doing: walking, hiking, mountain biking, canoodling (canoeing to everyone else), bush camping and 4WDing. We embrace a challenge and are not afraid to take risks for a chance to do something different. As an example we moved halfway around the world to live in Australia with our children having never previously visited, with no contacts no jobs or no plan, leaving behind our comfortable settled life and all our family and friends for the unknown, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
We will share with you, and the millions of other followers (we always aim BIG), our experiences both good and bad from the trails, our adventures and the challenges we set ourselves.
We want to inspire and support you to explore the magnificent trails and world around us, building unforgettable memories, and for our positiveness and passion to empower you to achieve your goals.
Why Seagulls?
Johnny was once likened to ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ from the book by the same name for his unwillingness to confirm, continually push boundaries and not settle for the norm. The gull’s individualism, creativity, courage, generosity and constant desire to learn and pursue his dreams is also greatly reflective of Johnny’s life.
The name stuck and he has forever been known as Johnny ‘The Seagull`.
This book is a MUST READ and you can learn more about it in our Books on the Run.
Johnny is a passionate ultra trail runner and Justine a fledgling in the trail running world and together we are known as the Seagulls on the Run.
