Road to Paradise Episode 01 | 2025 Gold Coast Marathon Training Series

Welcome to the first episode of our new Gold Coast Marathon training series, the Road to Paradise.  In episode 01, we introduce you to four WA athletes who we will be following on their journey towards Sunday 6th July 2025.  Lauren French, reigning WAMC club champion and potentially the fastest easy runs of anyone in Perth, looking to head back to the GC to run a marathon PB.  Rosie Spurling, a hurdler and triathlete back in the day, the 'neighbourhood pram lady' is looking to build on her marathon time of 3:14 at last year's Perth Running Festival Karlos Aquino, head chef of the Let's Cook Running team,  looking to go better than his 2:31 at last year's Gold Coast Marathon, and finally Simon Pham, will he avenge the demons of the dreaded 30km cramp and run sub 3?
