As athletes who cherish every trail, road and waterway we train on, Aid Station proudly acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People as the Traditional Owners of the land where we lace up our shoes each day. We respect every athlete's journey, and extend this same respect to all First Nations People and Elders across Australia, whose ancient pathways we now follow during races and adventures. We recognise the enduring connection First Nations Peoples have with Country - a relationship that shows the ultimate endurance. At Aid Station, while we help athletes fuel their journeys, we’re equally committed to respecting and preserving the land that sustains us. As proud sponsors of TRIMOB and the IRONMOB Program, we're honoured to support communities who share our passion for endurance sport. We pay respects to Elders past, present and future, celebrating the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - true endurance experts long before the first marathon was run.
