Beyond the Road
Each athlete is as uniquely valued and loved. Their experiences, the ups and the downs, shape who they are today. And these become a story that can encourage and inspire one another. Here to celebrate the athlete’s spirits, for the things beyond the road that is keeping us running.

If Liz were to say something to her younger self, what would she say?
Alyssa Lowe
A silver medal and a new PB of 6.45m. Alyssa came into this season with a personal best of 6.05m set in 2019. Her faith and determination made her stronger and jump further than she could imagine.
Mitch Lightfoot

Meet Bree, formally a dancer and beach sprinter, but now she is shining on the world stage in track and field. And always with the biggest smile after every race.
Tiaan Whelpton

Riley McGown
This is what this sport is all about.
Calli Thackery
Meet Calli and this is her story. From 🇬🇧 to 🇺🇸, now at 🇦🇺 training wit the bests at Melbourne Track Club. Initially training for a marathon, but shocked herself with a 15:09 at nationals 5000m, a big 28 sec PB, a CWG and World standard.

Nicola Hogg
Nicola finished her last Junior national 1500m with a new PB of 4:15.13 and a 🥈. She will be racing at the World U20 Champs in the 1500m and 3000m, then she will head off to Stanford University to continue her academic and athletic pursuits 🇺🇸
Jai Gordon
Jai claimed the national U20 100m title in 10.28(0.7). His first win in four years, another PB and World Junior Qualifier. But what made this moment so special was the joy of racing with his teammate and his heart to inspire the next generation.
Paige Campbell
Paige placed fourth in 9:09.92, just behind her twin Holly (9:08.03) at the National 3000m Championships. They are the hardest working twin I know. Whether working, running or cross-training, they are always showing up and giving their best. So it was such a special moment to see them finishing together at a national event.
Ivy Boothroyd
Meet Ivy (@ivyboothroydrunning_ ) and this is her story at the NSW Junior Championships. Another very young talented rising star in the 400m and 800m. Big goals to chase but this is why we dream!
