Your Running Profile

This will help us understand you as a runner and most importantly help our coaches build your personal training program.

How long have you been running for and how much are you currently doing each week? *

What is the longest distance you have ever run? (to be eligible, your longest ever run must be less than 42.2km (including walk/run or trail events)) *

How long did it take you to run your longest distance run? *

Have you completed a half marathon in the past 12 months? Yes/No *

Please list your last half marathon time including the event name and date (e.g. Cadbury Half Marathon, 12/1/22, 2:15:48) *

Note: To be eligible for consideration you MUST have run a half marathon previously. This is important not only for your health and safety but to set you up for success at Cadbury.

Have you ever followed a structured training program? *

Yes

What other events do you intend on running between October 2024 and Cadbury Marathon race day?

We want to know what events you're running during the 12 week training period so we can incorporate these into your program... Please note that your main focus should be completing the marathon and as such our coaches may recommend backing off some of the other runs.

Have you had any recent running-related injuries - this will assist in modifying any programs (e.g. ITB issues, shin splints, stress fractures)? Please supply a brief summary.

Your Commitment

Becoming a marathoner requires passion, motivation and commitment. It's not easy or else everyone would be doing it! To be successful and to get the most out of the program you need to be committed and understand that there is a big time commitment involved. We'll provide you the resources, advice and encouragement to help you succeed but we can't do the training for you. Please answer the following questions honestly and consider your personal circumstances.

Are you willing, able and eager to commit to a 12 week training program starting at the end of October? *

Yes

Are you willing to commit to spending 5+ hours per week training? You will be required to run at least 4 times per week. *

Yes

Motivating Others

A big part of the success of the program is the fact that participants act as role models who inspire others on their marathon journey. If successful you will be a part of the Make me a Marathoner legacy by sharing your story.

I agree to have my name, story (including quotes from this entry) and photos shared on the TRR website and TRR social media channels *

Yes

We sometimes get requests from media outlets e.g. The Mercury/Sunday Tasmanian who are looking to profile TRR runners. Would you be open to appearing in the media? *

Yes

No way!

Maybe

We would ALWAYS contact you for permission to be contacted by media outlets.

Serious Stuff

Running a marathon is not an easy feat. There is a reason that only 1% of the population ever successfully completes the distance. We want to support you doing this safely and want you to cross the finish line smiling, happy and injury-free! TRR strongly recommend seeking health advice from your GP before undertaking a marathon training program.

Medical conditions may require program modifications please list medical conditions that may need to be considered *

Any medical information disclosed will remain private and confidential.

Do you have any holidays, personal or work commitments that may affect your ability to stick to your training program? *

We know that life happens, but if you've got a long holiday or other personal/work commitments that may affect your training it's better to factor these in sooner rather than later. Training for a marathon basically takes over your life for 12 weeks!

A little bit extra

We know that sometimes people aren't so great with words, so here is space where you can upload a file with the "little bit extra" to tell us why you would like to be part of the program. This is definitely optional, no pressure to add anything here.

Extra Stuff (optional)
