 Mark Ella wrote of Moon that he was ‘a beautiful runner’ and that, “Moon was a runner of the classical type.He had a high knee action and his arms pumped as he ran.” David Campese has asserted that, “His running style was especially impressive.He looked like a genuine track sprinter.” Rugby journalist Terry Smith once said of Moon's running that, “With his fluent, graceful stride, it’s easy to imagine Brendan Moon putting on a pair of spikes and running for Australia in the Olympics."
