Key points

• Former Port Adelaide AFL player Kane Cornes is set to run two marathons in five days for Telethon. He completed the first at the Perth Running Festival on Sunday in 2 hours 54 minutes 37 seconds.
• His second, a 42-kilometre run on Rottnest Island on Thursday, includes trivia, a quokka selfie and a 10-kilometre lap alongside Premier Roger Cook. Cornes said the run is about enjoying the day with his family rather than a goal time.
