Many people kept this habit going, and the running community boomed. Speak with any race director or running store and [...]

Canberra Marathon Recap by Erica Sparke

I started training for the Canberra Marathon in December 2020 – logging 683.95km and almost 83 hours of training before the big day. I ran through torrential rain, through heartbreak when my best friend died 3 weeks out, logged many KMs alone in the dark and many grateful KMs with wonderful friends. I had a [...]

In the dwindling months of my 30’s, my family asked me what I wanted for my 40thbirthday. My answer: “A marathon”.
