Korey has always been a talented running, and prior to joining IMP he was a strong track runner, specialising in 1500m. Korey follows in the footsteps of past IMP athletes from Alice Springs, including Charlie Maher and Caleb Hart in 2010 and Reggie Smith in 2011. Korey proved his running talent throughout his time in the Project, finishing the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival half-marathon in September 2012 in a personal best time of 79 minutes.
	Following the cancellation of the 2012 New York Marathon due to Hurricane Sandy, Korey continued his training and went on to finish the Tokyo Marathon in February alongside his IMP team mate, in an IMP marathon record time of 3 hours 8 minutes. Korey hopes to continue his running, and wants to represent Australia at the Olympic Games.
