TEAM NUTRITION® x 2025 Ballarat Marathon

When we launched TEAM NUTRITION®, we knew we were in it for the long run. And this April, we’re honoured to be the official protein bar sponsor of an event that lives and breathes that same endurance mindset—the 2025 Ballarat Marathon.

Happening from 25 to 27 April, the Ballarat Marathon has quickly earned a place on Australia’s racing calendar. It’s a celebration of grit, community and the kind of regional pride you can’t fake.

For us, the partnership is personal. TEAM NUTRITION® bars are made locally in Ballarat by FERNDALE FOODS AUSTRALIA, a family-owned business that’s been making better-for-you treats for almost 30 years.

Leigh Edward, CEO of Ferndale, knows a thing or two about staying the course.

“When Dad said he wanted to disrupt the protein bar market, we knew it wasn’t going to be a sprint,” says Leigh. “We had to think like marathon runners—pacing ourselves, planning carefully, staying mentally tough. There were months of development, endless kitchen trials, and a team that had to pull together with grit and belief. And we did. That’s what makes this partnership so special. We see that same effort, that same community, in every runner who lines up in April.”

The Ballarat Marathon isn’t just an event—it’s a story. Of a city that turns out to cheer. Of streets that echo with footsteps and support. Of thousands of runners, from first-timers to seasoned athletes, giving it everything.

And we’ll be there. From the mile to the marathon. With 15g of protein, just 3g of sugar, no intense sweeteners, and a choc-coated crunch that helps get you back on your feet.

So here’s to the legends. The locals. The record-chasers. The ones who show up, give their all and keep moving forward.

We’ll see you on the course.
