So this happened! Meeting Eliud Kipchoge at Sydney Marathon - Part 1

Sydney Marathon 2025 was unforgettable.

A whole lot came together this weekend — the city, the atmosphere, and the race itself.

For me, it was a dream come true:

🏃‍♂️ Ran the 10k two minutes faster than last year as my build back continues
🎉 Experienced Sydney as a brand-new World Marathon Major
🙌 And the moment of a lifetime… meeting Eliud Kipchoge at the Opera House

💫 The Kipchoge Moment

On Friday night, I was invited to the Meet the Stars event at the Opera House, where something truly special happened:

Eliud signed my singlet art piece 🎨

I was able to personally present him my shoe artwork 👟
It’s hard to put into words — I’m still buzzing. Meeting the GOAT of marathon running was an absolute dream.

🏃‍♂️ Race Recap

The 10k itself felt amazing — stronger, smoother, and faster than last year. Running through Sydney, over the Harbour Bridge, with thousands of others chasing their goals was nothing short of electric. Next weeks video will be a recap of the race itself.
