“Following in his brother’s footsteps, 16 year-old Jake Priestly has stepped up to  take on the 15th annual Great Wheelbarrow Race as a solo competitor. In 2015, Jake’s brother Josh won the male solo category and it was his determination that inspired his younger brother, Jake to take on the challenge. The Great Wheelbarrow Race will take teams from Chillagoe to Mareeba in a three-day, 140km endurance event from May 18-20. [May 18 | May 19 | May 20]

‘Watching Josh do the race solo three years ago has motivated me to do the same thing and give it a go’, Jake said/ ‘It’s all for charity, so why not.’

The St Stephen’s Catholic College student will compete in this year’s event to raise money for Rosies, a local charity which reaches out to those less fortunate in the community.

‘Rosies reaches out to those most in need, those people who are lonely, abandoned, and marginalised within our communities.'”
