Ballarat Marathon 2026 Recap!
A massive day up in Ballarat that featured a few of our runners!
Taking on the Mara in unseasonably warm conditions was Jaydan Tommy and Nikki! All Coming in with great training blocks under the belt and solid goals in mind they all came back saying how challenging it was out there with the heat and wind. Tommy put another great solid marathon on the board, barely missing on a PB. Jayden on debut ran a well calculated race and finished with an incredible 2:49 in his first ever marathon! In the week leading up he wasn’t even sure if he would get to the line, so that just goes to show the resilience of the man! Unfortunately Nikki didn’t have the day she was after, none the less she’s got a ton of good training behind her and you just know she’ll be back!
Over to the half we had Georgia! 4 months ago she said she’s never running a hard half or race again. On Sunday she left Ballarat with a new PB in her back pocket! An incredible effort off limited prep, looking forward to big year ahead for her now!
