Team Ellis Running

06/09/2026

What an awesome running experience. Yesterday was so much fun and all about finish lines and definitely not finish times. We had so much fun running with our mates Mary and Steve. We each drank 22 Bordeaux w**es, 2 beers, ate 1 oyster each, consumed a handful of beef, lots of crackers and Madeira cake, Croissants, and so much more including an ice cream (which was the best). This is one race to put on your bucket lists. Thankyou Travelling Fit for making these memories become real. We will do up a more detailed race report with more photos and a longer video in the days to come.

Game Day 🍷🇫🇷

This morning we got our first taste of Bordeaux with a shakeout run hosted by Travelling Fit. It was nice to stretch out the legs and to have a run in a new city. Tomorrow is marathon day, and the temperature is rising with temps expected to be in the mid 30’s. We can’t control the temperature, so we will focus on the w**e instead… 🍷

Today we did our last long run before Marathon du Médoc - it comprised of a 5km warmup run where we ran over the border from Switzerland into Germany for parkrun; our 5km parkrun at Dreiländergarten parkrun, Weil am Rhein; and then a 10km run back crossing the borders with France, Switzerland and Germany multiple times. All with no passports, and no fuss. Something that is just so very different for us to do. Along the way we found Aussies at parkrun, including a couple from Brisbane, as well as a Triathlon (Triathlon Basel). Video of today’s run will be posted later on. Good luck to everyone running Sydney tomorrow. Happy Running.

We’ve just got back from a fun little run around Luxembourg - This city is so clean and safe, and is stunningly beautiful with so much history. The photos don’t do it justice. The legs are feeling good with just over a week to go until Marathon du Médoc
