Subject: Sydney Marathon + Kangaroo Island Half: Inside My Aussie Challenge

✨ Thinking of Running a Marathon Abroad? Let my racecation inspire you!

Hey friends,

I’m finally getting around to sharing my recap of the Sydney Marathon and the Kangaroo Island Half as part of the Aussie Challenge, a two-race, three-medal, all-the-wine adventure. 😅

I signed up for Sydney nearly a year before the event, riding the high of back-to-back World Marathon Majors (Berlin and Chicago), but it quickly turned into something bigger.

“It wasn’t the ‘it’ race yet, but I wasn’t chasing cool points, I was chasing continents.”

And then came Kangaroo Island, a rugged, beautiful surprise that stole my runner’s heart (and nearly my quads).

✨ Get somebody else to do it!

I handed over the race weekend logistics to a tour company for the first time, and it was great to just show up and run.

If you’ve been curious about using marathon tour operators or charity bibs to bypass the lottery, stay tuned… I’ll be sharing more on that soon.
