Our next Ambassador is Tamara Sallese
She will be lining up in her debut marathon and recently completed her longest run ever ( 30km )
" Hi, I’m Tamara, a 34-year-old mum of two beautiful boys, Ollie (3) and Archie (1). My husband and I are raising our family on Tasmania’s beautiful northwest coast, where we both grew up.
Running has always been part of my life, but it wasn’t until after becoming a mum that I truly found my passion for it. Last year, I completed my first half marathon at Coastal, just seven months postpartum.
This year, I’m returning to make my marathon debut—a goal I never thought was possible for me!
What I love most about running is that it isn’t about being the fastest; it’s about showing up, backing yourself, and enjoying the journey. Every runner has a story and I hope mine encourages someone else to take that first step or chase a goal they never thought possible. I feel incredibly humbled to be an ambassador and I can’t wait to cheer everyone on and be part of this truly unique community event. Seeing my boys at the finish line will be the cherry on top!
When I’m not road running, you’ll find me on the trails with my Wild Girls crew, volunteering at Devonport Parkrun, spending time with my family and our dog Marli or enjoying a good coffee and a great book.”
Good luck in the marathon, Tamara 🥳 🎉 🪅
