Tennant Creek locals Zoe Bolton and Sarvika Mishra are running for charity in their first Abbott World Major marathons. Zoe is running the London marathon in May, while Sarvika is running the Sydney marathon in August, her first ever 42.4kms! Zoe is raising funds for St Johns Ambulance and Sarvika for Foundation for Alcohol Research & Education (FARE). Both charities do vital work — from providing lifesaving first aid training to reducing alcohol harm across the country. Any support is welcome, rest assured they'll be thinking of you (and their questionable life choices) at km 32. When TC cools down, they run on the trails and would love for more people to join them. All paces welcome!

Zoe also mentioned Tennant Creek Athletics who you can contact for more information including the coaching course, AGM & running schedules
