Fran Hurndall Biography
Fran Hurndall knows what it means to chase the impossible. In 2025, she became the fastest woman to run across Australia, covering 3,800 kilometers in 60 days. This journey tested every physical and mental limit, fueled by a mission far greater than herself.
In 2023, Hurndall made history by dribbling a football 1,000 kilometers from the Gold Coast to Sydney during the FIFA Women's World Cup, becoming the first person to do so. She raised thousands for women in sport and earned a Guinness World Record. In 2024, her life shifted when she learned her sister had been suffering in a domestic violence relationship, a truth that brought the issue painfully close to home. This revelation, combined with her mother's own experience, ignited a passion in Hurndall to use her platform to break the silence and inspire change.
A former Arsenal Academy and England footballer, Hurndall has raised over $100,000 for charity and sparked national conversations on resilience, courage, and advocacy. Her story of grit, vulnerability, and unstoppable determination has been featured across SBS News, The Australian Women's Weekly, The Sunday Times, and "A Current Affair with Deborah Knight."
Her keynotes inspire audiences to believe in their own strength, embrace discomfort, and turn adversity into purpose.

What does it really take to keep going when everything in you wants to stop?
From running 3,800km across Australia in 60 days to dribbling a football 1,000km during the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Fran Hurndall has pushed her body and mind to the edge — but her greatest endurance challenges came off the track. In 2024, she learned her sister had been suffering in a domestic violence relationship, echoing her mother’s own experience. It was a revelation that shifted her mission from chasing personal records to running for something far greater.
This keynote dives into the mindset, discipline, and adaptability needed to overcome obstacles — whether on the sporting stage, in business, or in life. Fran shares the strategies she used to keep moving forward through exhaustion, self-doubt, and public pressure, and how finding a purpose beyond yourself can turn adversity into fuel.
Audiences will leave with a new understanding of resilience: not as an innate trait, but as a skill that can be built, tested, and strengthened.
What happens when the cause you’re fighting for becomes your own family’s reality?
In 2024, Fran Hurndall’s mission to raise awareness about domestic and family violence turned deeply personal when she learned her sister had been living through abuse, echoing her mother’s own experience. Suddenly, the statistics she’d been campaigning against became the story of the people she loved most.
In this powerful and deeply human keynote, Fran explores the ripple effects of domestic violence, the courage it takes to speak out, and the role every individual can play in driving change. She shares how vulnerability can be a strength, how advocacy can start in your own backyard, and how to turn painful truths into platforms for hope and action.
Audiences will walk away with a renewed belief that their voice matters — and the tools to use it.
Elite performance isn’t about talent alone — it’s about mindset, preparation, and the ability to adapt when nothing goes to plan.
From representing Arsenal Ladies and England in football to setting two world records in endurance sport, Fran Hurndall knows what it takes to perform at the highest level. This keynote reveals the mental strategies, goal-setting frameworks, and recovery methods that allowed her to sustain performance day after day, even when the odds — and her body — were against her.
Whether you’re leading a business, managing a team, or chasing a personal goal, Fran’s lessons translate beyond the sporting field. Audiences will learn how to build consistency, bounce back from setbacks, and channel pressure into peak performance.
Representation matters. When young girls see women achieving at the highest level — in sport, business, and leadership — they see what’s possible for themselves.
