The Rand-Walbundrie-Walla footballer ran 55 kilometres from Thurgoona to Walbundrie to raise money and awareness for mental health.

Robertson's longest run before that was 35 kilometres, departing at 7am and finishing just before his expected arrival time of 1pm.

"I was doing it tough there for a while, but it was so good with all the support I had and I actually went better than I thought," he said.

"Some mates jumped in for a bit along the way and some set PBs along the way which was good for them (laughs).

"Just before Burrumbuttock, around halfway through, I was doing it pretty tough, so I stopped and had a bit of a drink and something to eat and ended up coming out of it quite quickly.

"It was a pretty emotional day and I think I've raised a lot more than I expected. My goal was $500 but I think I'm close to $5000."

Following the run, Robertson parted ways with his long blonde locks, more than three years after his last haircut, before celebrating the achievement at the Walbundrie Hotel and later Kinross Woolshed.

All proceeds from Robertson's Joggin' for the Noggin' challenge will be donated to the R U OK? foundation.
