Aireys Inlet marathon runner Ellie Pashley continued her strong run of form on the international stage finishing inside the top 20 at another event for the second time in 2023.

Pashley 34, placed 13th in the world renowned London marathon on April 23 just two months after placing 19th overall at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships at Bathurst in February. She was Australia’s fastest runner in the elite women’s field.

Ellie is often seen running out the back of Aireys Inlet and I have passed her a number of times (on a bike of course!!) and I’m staggered at how fast she travels. To think she runs at that pace for almost two and a half hours is exhausting.
