Ballarat showed up in full force for this year’s marathon — and we were right there on the finish line, cheering every step and fuelling the finish.
As a Ballarat-based business, we were beyond proud to support this iconic local event. Over two thrilling days, TEAM NUTRITION® handed out more than 15,000 locally made protein bars to race finishers and crowd members — helping everyone refuel, recharge and keep moving. Whether it was a sweaty high five, a giant photo prop or a much-needed hit of protein after 42.2 kilometres, we were there for it.
“Seeing our bars in the hands of thousands of finishers — right here in our hometown — was pretty special. We started Team Nutrition® to support real people with real energy needs, and the Ballarat Marathon was the perfect place to show what we’re about.” — Leigh Edward, CEO Ferndale Foods Australia.
It was the second official Ballarat Marathon, and what a moment for our city. The streets were lined with support. The energy was sky-high. And our team — staff, family, and a dream crew of ambassadors — brought unmatched spirit, laughter and hustle to make it all happen.
A massive thank you to @loz_layton, @keeping_it_clean_and_lean, @muse_creative_co, and @medadesignau for helping us bring the fire. You are true legends. A huge shoutout to the organisers — Adam, Sam, Poppy, Kesh, Simon and their phenomenal team at Ballarat Marathon — for delivering an event that was world-class in every detail. From the smooth logistics to the electric atmosphere, it was clear how much care and effort went into every step. We were proud to play our part, and even prouder to be working alongside people who believe in this city as much as we do.
We’re also grateful to be part of something bigger. Ferndale Foods Australia has been making better-for-you snacks right here in Ballarat for 30 years. Events like this remind us why we do it — for the community, for the energy, for the joy of showing up.
To every runner, volunteer and supporter who took part: thank you. You made it unforgettable.
TEAM NUTRITION®. STRONGER TOGETHER.
