Running Warehouse Ballarat Marathon

𝗥𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲: I’ve been a bit quiet on the race scene over the past couple of years, but I’ve been fortunate enough to witness the rise of the Ballarat Marathon during that time. Ballarat is renowned as the home of distance running in Australia, so it is always a privilege to run these roads. Other than the notorious COVID year, I’ve been on a streak of running sub-2:20 every year since 2018. My goal is to continue that streak, although it’s becoming more challenging with a growing family and increasing work commitments. As someone living in Melbourne, the Ballarat Marathon is a no-brainer. It’s only a short drive to what is now one of the most competitive sub-elite marathon fields in Australia. I don’t get the chance to travel overseas for racing anymore, so the opportunity to run a fast time in a competitive field is why I’ve chosen to come back to the Ballarat Marathon.

Congratulations to Reece Edwards, our 2025 Ballarat Marathon champion, on his victory at the Port Fairy Marathon yesterday, stopping the clock in a blistering 2:21:58.

Momentum is building as he eyes the Ballarat Marathon, where he’ll return to defend his crown and chase back-to-back titles.

See you on the start line, 𝗥𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲! @reecedwards7
