    Run with purpose: How runners are saving the lives of premature babies

    In this episode, we had the privilege of speaking with Sophie Smith OAM. Sophie's story is one of resilience, compassion and hope. Having experienced the unimaginable loss of three premature babies, she chose not to let grief define her. Instead, Sophie channelled her energy into a remarkable charity - ‘Running For Premature Babies’. Through her sheer determination to turn pain into purpose, Sophie and her community has raised nearly $6 million to provide lifesaving equipment for premature babies. Every dollar brings hope and ensures that these tiny fighters have the best possible chance at survival. Sophie’s story is testament to the incredible power of one person's vision and the impact we can make when we come together…and run together, for a purpose that’s bigger than ourselves. As September approaches, Sophie is lacing up her running shoes once again, preparing to conquer the Sydney marathon and we cannot wait to cheer her on! We also get an update about a massive milestone from James Constantine, who also shares what's coming up for our Sydney Marathon Run Clubs.  Links Sydney Marathon - sydneymarathon.com/ Unlock Your Marathon State of Mind x Sydney Marathon (free 6-week mental skills course for all Sydney Marathon participants in the marathon) - https://www.marathonstateofmind.com/sydney-marathon-state-of-mind-signup-form Follow Sydney Marathon @sydney_marathon

    Hello Sport say Hello Sydney Marathon

    In this episode we talk to co-hosts of the Hello Sport Podcast and "Coaches" of the Goers Run Club, Tom and Eddy. Tom and Eddy give light and funny accounts of their debut marathon at the Sydney Marathon last year, and candidly share their tips on what not to do when preparing for a 42.2km race. After learning all of the hard lessons, they have now rallied over 530 Sydney marathon entrants in their Goers Run Club, the vast majority who are taking on the marathon for the first time. Incredibly, their team is double the size of any run club or corporate team taking part in this year’s Sydney Marathon! We also hear from Sydney Marathon Digital Marketing Manager, James Constantine, to get the latest on marathon entry numbers, Sydney Marathon Run Club updates, and where your loved ones can best enjoy cheering you on, as well as enjoy food & beverage plus DJ’s, MC’s and sponsor giveaways at all the spectator live sites around the course on race day.
