Ray Boyd Welcomes Potential Marathon Course Members:
The marathon is one of the challenges that life throws up to us. It is not only a test of endurance but a test of perseverance. The effort required to get to the start line is more the challenge than the actual race itself.
Emil Zatopek once wrote “If you want to win a race, try the 100 meter. If you want to win an experience, try the marathon.” I am looking forward to helping people take up this challenge and helping them get to the starting line in as good a shape as they possibly can. I’ve run a few marathons and I know what it takes to get to the line. The marathon is the great leveller, it’s a personal experience with a personal goal that provides a unique sort of comradery where we all work to achieving our personal goals. I hope to see you out there.
Regards,
Ray Boyd (Australian Rep, 57 Time West Australian Athletics Champion, 11*City to Surf Winner, 16*Bridges Winner)
