🏃‍♂️ SYDNEY MARATHON – GOOD LUCK TEAM! 🇦🇺

This weekend it’s time for the Sydney Marathon, and we have a great group of On The Run athletes heading south to take on this iconic event. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

As part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, this is a marathon with an incredible course and some seriously impressive scenery. From crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, through Darling Harbour and Kings Cross, past Allianz Stadium and into Centennial Park, there is plenty to keep the mind occupied when the legs start getting tired!

Then comes the testing section through the Royal Botanic Gardens, before an incredible downhill finish along Macquarie Street towards the Sydney Opera House. There can't be many more spectacular places in the world to finish a marathon! 🌉🏛️

It’s an amazing event in one of the world’s great cities, and with the forecast looking pretty much perfect, there should be some great performances and plenty of happy runners crossing that finish line.

To everyone heading south — you’ve put in the training, you’ve done the hard yards, and now it’s time to enjoy the experience.

Run smart, trust your training, soak up the atmosphere and most importantly… enjoy every kilometre!

From all of us at On The Run, GOOD LUCK! 👊🔥

We’ll be watching, tracking and cheering you on from Mackay! ❤️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Go smash it, team! 💪

Sunrise and hilltops

Last weekend, Billy and Adam took on the Perth HYROX — racing Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Because apparently one race just isn’t enough! 😂🔥

All those long hours of training paid off in a BIG way, with some incredible results.

These two have been putting in the work — smashing sessions in the gym, pushing the pace at Wednesday morning track sessions to build speed, and tackling some long weekend runs to build the endurance needed to get through a HYROX weekend like this.

And wow… did the hard yards pay dividends! 💪🏃‍♂️

FRIDAY – Open Solo
Both Billy and Adam achieved PBs and finished inside the Top 10 in their Age Groups.
🥈 Billy picked up 2nd in his Age Group!

SATURDAY – Pro Doubles
Making their Pro Doubles debut, the boys broke the 60-minute barrier with an impressive 58:21. Their strong running giving them an edge.
🥉 Which earned them a 3rd place Age Group podium!

SUNDAY – Open Doubles
After just a few hours' sleep and a quick recovery, they were back on the start line for race number THREE! 😴➡️🔥

The fatigue was definitely starting to set in, but they trusted the process, trusted the training (and maybe a little bit of that On The Run magic 😉).

They crossed the line in 56:09, finishing 9th overall AND 1st in their Age Group! 🥇

Three races. Three days. PBs. Podiums. And a whole lot of hard work paying off.

Huge congratulations, boys! 👏🔥

This is what happens when you put the work in, stay consistent and trust the process.

Beautiful morning at the track 🏃🏼‍♂️ how lucky are we to have this amazing facility train on 🏃‍♀️
