IN LONG RUN, JUDITH ALWAYS TAKES PART

-

RUNNER Judith Pound is returning for the 33rd time to compete in the ASICS Half Marathon.

Ms Pound, 67, will return to participat­e at the Gold Coast Marathon after becoming the first woman to join the exclusive 30 Year Half Marathon Club in 2015.

The keen sportswoma­n said the event had inspired people from all over the Coast to train and push themselves to try something out of their comfort zone.

“The event has generated more of a running culture across the Coast,” she said.

“Over my 30 years of competing, I have seen numbers increase every year with more and more people of different abilities wanting to be a part of such a great event.

“It’s really so much more than just a run,” she said.

Ms Pound was also a volunteer Games Shaper at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonweal­th Games.
