Synopsis:

Goofball Kid Campbell (Dan Cannon) dreams to follow in the backwards footsteps of his childhood hero, 100m reverse-running legend John Jones ("real-life marathon icon Steve Moneghetti"). After mastering Coach Leroy's wacky training routines, Kid competes against other back-letes at the outrageous 'Alternate Athletics'...if you've dreamt it they've got an event for it! Together the unlikely heroes must overcome cocky arch-rival Steven 'SJ' James, defy Kid's disapproving dad and prove that life isn't always straight forward. Co-starring Bianca Linton, comedian Dave Callan and featuring a cameo from Australia's favourite sports commentator Bruce McAvaney, Reverse Runner is a "big-hearted small town comedy" that will have the entire family cheering all the way to the finish line!

Named after the alternative athletic 'skill' where contestants run backwards into cult-hero 'glory', this big-hearted, small-town comedy centres on 'Kid' Campbell (Dan Cannon) and his dream to emulate his hero, reverse-running legend John Jones (Steve Moneghetti). Under the guidance of the passionate but luckless Coach Leroy (Rosco Brauer), Kid endeavours to overcome his arch-rival Stephen 'SJ' James (Julian Shaw), a bitter father (Daryl Cannon) who was robbed of his own sporting dream to become a champion kite-flyer, and the memory of a final race-day embarrassment which saw him disqualified for turning his shoulders 25 percent (making his reverse run into a sideways one).

A teenager pursues his childhood dream of becoming the best at reverse running.
