Farmer ends Mideast peace run in Jerusalem

Former Liberal MP Pat Farmer has completed his 1500km "Middle East Peace Run", with a final stop in Jerusalem.

The 52-year-old reached the finish line on Monday. His journey began on May 1 and took him to Lebanon, Jordan, the West Bank and Israel.

The ultra-marathon runner says he hopes his endeavour will help promote peace and tolerance in the Middle East.

"I've come here because I want you to know and understand that there are people on the other side of the world that care about you and they care about your families," Farmer said.

In 2012 Farmer ran from the North Pole to the South Pole.

The father of two was accompanied by a travelling support team that included his daughter Brooke.
