Mosman Local ED Goddard Competes in the London Marathon 2022

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, I want to recognise Mosman local Ed Goddard, who recently competed in his first major marathon at the London Marathon. Ed is only 24 years old and is well on his way to establishing his professional running career, already being sponsored by Asics and gaining attention for his love of Rock 'n' Roll and his stand-out mullet. Dubbed the "Mosman Mullet", Ed runs 32km daily throughout the local area and has been an avid runner since schooling at SHORE. He only ran the first marathon of his career last year in December, then went on to compete again in April at the Manchester Marathon, and in May at the Copenhagen Marathon. In September, he won the Sydney Half Marathon breaking the course record held for twenty years. Ed then went on to win the Sydney Running Festival Bridge Run. Congratulations, Ed, on all your success. What a fantastic achievement to represent Australia at an international level. Keep up the hard training, and I wish you all the best with your future races and endeavours. Hopefully, we will see you at the 2024 Olympic Games!
