The greatest athlete on the planet Usain Bolt will anchor leg one lucky relay team in the Gatorade celebrity 4 x 100m relay. 7 other celebrities and 24 members of the public will have this rare opportunity to run on the same track as the fastest man in the world.

A host of Australia's top sporting and entertainment personalities will be pitted against Bolt as they anchor home the other teams.

Those who have been approached by event organisers to line up alongside Bolt include:

- The Australian cricket team's wicket keeper Brad Haddin. 'Hadds'   is well aware Bolt was a handy fast bowler before focussing his energies on running. While Haddin has gloved to genuine speed merchants including Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson this promises to be a new experience.
CONFIRMED

- Former NRL star and Australian representative Michael Buettner who played 263 games across 4 clubs Parramatta Eels, North Sydney Bears, Northern Eagles and Wests Tigers. Michael accepted his inviatation to run this relay very spontaniously  live on air  during  his popular weekly sports radio spot on 107.7FM 2GO 'Locker room' where his enthusiasm along with the show's host Steve Allan's enthusiasm for the event deserves to be embraced and see this former great athlete line up alongside the greatest athlete in the world. Mick's passion for sport is infectious and we want him there...welcome aboard Mick!
CONFIRMED

- Former NSW and Australian Rugby League captain Brad Fittler. While this sporting great achieved everything on the footy field from winning premierships to World Cups he'll need to dig deep in his showdown with Bolt.  

CONFIRMED 

- Former Olympian, Australian champion sprinter and media personality Matt Shirvington. Many of today's athletes grew up aspiring to be like Matt Shirvington, including rugby league sensation Jarryd Hayne. Few deserves their spot next to Usain Bolt more than the great Shirvo.
CONFIRMED

- Former NRL player Jason Taylor may not have been known for his speed as a player but was known for his professionalism in every area of preparation. This lead to him representing NSW, playing 276 first grade games, winning the Rothman's medal and breaking the highest point scoring record in the history of the game before he retired after the 2001 grand final. Jason went onto becoming an NRL head coach and now enjoys his roles in the media and coaching consultancy.

CONFIRMED

- Three-times world boxing champion Danny Green. The  Green Machine boasts great hand speed but we're not sure if he has the leg speed to match Bolt! Regardless, he deserves his place on centre stage as one Australia's best athletes and a favourite of the Australian public
