Bruce is the Australian Ambassador for the Comrades Marathon which is held annually in South Africa, and as of 2013, Bruce has successfully finished 7 Comrades Marathons.

Bruce's running achievements are very modest when compared to the elite runners of this world, but his commitment and dedication is rarely equaled.

He regularly signs up to lead 'Pacing groups' in various Marathons, therefore by passing a chance to get the best out of himself, rather he regular focus's his effort into helping others do their best.

You will regularly see him leading these groups in Melbourne and the Gold Coast, but he has also lead groups in Sydney, Canberra and Mumbai.
