E52: Kelly Willis - Three-Time 6 Star Finisher

Of all the prospects from Sydney Marathon’s ram-packed weekend, perhaps the most enticing might be its future status as a seventh Major…

 

We’ve a huge show this week, featuring a three-time 6 Star Finisher to give us the lowdown on Sydney’s course, whether it’s likely to become that seventh star, and if not then what it could improve.

 

Elsewhere, the Age Group World Championships gave us some admirable performances, Jacob Ingrbritsen gave us a wild show at the Copenhagen Half Marathon, and much more!
