By Runner's Tribe You're currently in some awesome form, winning the Sydney 10k, going sub 70 and finishing second to America's Sara Hall in the Gold Coast half, and winning the Tasmanian running festival back in June, setting a new 10km pb, to name a few top results. Out of...
Len Johnson - Runner's Tribe The road distance event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be a half-marathon, at least compared to its immediate predecessor at Rio 2016.

Hey, I’m Eligh Morris and 19 years of age and I’m from the Southern Highlands. My running story began when I was a young tacker, when I first became a member of Bowral Little Athletics and now a member of Kembla Joggers Inc. Most of you have never probably...

Ethiopian marathoner Kebede Balcha was one of those runners you wouldn’t know was there until they passed you – usually within sight of the finish line. He did it to Dave Chettle in the World Cup marathon in Montreal in 1979 and threatened to do it to Rob de...
I always laugh about how I got into running. My older sister, Emma, showed some potential in long jump whilst we were both in primary school. Our aunt suggested that Emma come along to try out little athletics at Hornsby District Little Athletics Centre and at the ripe old...
