Special shout to Aurélie Monnier for an incredible performance at the Nestomalt Nestomalt Jaffna Half Marathon! 🏃‍♀️🔥

Aurélie finished an amazing sub-2 hour half marathon in 7th place after cycling a massive 480km from Colombo to Jaffna! 🚴‍♀️

She took on the journey via Puttalam, Anuradhapura and Mannar, arriving in Jaffna and then lining up for the half marathon. Talk about commitment! 💪

Today we are celebrating two beloved members of our community, our founder Tharindu (Coach T!) and Lara, both of whom completed the Australian Gold Coast Marathon in style at the start of this month.

For Tharindu, this marathon was a chance to run in easier conditions than his usual Colombo training and he certainly made the most of it, completing the run in an impressive 3:15:51 which was a 35 minute PB and almost fast enough to qualify him for the highly competitive Boston Marathon.

Meanwhile, the CNR and CCR communities continue to he endlessly impressed by the new heights Lara achieves in running since returning back to her Australian home. This marathon was no exception, with her completing the 42k in an impressive 3:48:40.

Both runners finished in style, in CNR colours, with big smiles on their faces! We are so proud of them and can't wait to see what amazing challenges they will tackle next!
