2023 Nike Melbourne Marathon Event Video

This year, the Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival returned for its 45th edition with more than 40,000
registered participants – a new record for the iconic sporting event.

Victoria’s Reece Edwards won the men’s Nike Marathon with a time of 2:14:34, receiving $20,000 in prize. Winner of the women’s Nike Marathon was Gemma Maini from Victoria, who tackled the 42.195km course in a time of 2:35:25. Marking her marathon debut, Maini also received a coveted cash prize of $20,000 and the iconic Kerryn McCann Award as the first Australian female finisher.

The first athlete to cross the Nike Half Marathon finish line was Jack Rayner from Victoria, who raced against the clock to secure a time of 1:03:09. Rayner is now the only runner in Festival history to secure three consecutive wins in the 21.1km event. Queensland’s Genevieve Gregson was the first woman to complete the 21.1km distance, securing a time of 1:10:07.

I’m going to attempt my very first Marathon, at the age of 52, in my magnificent home town in October. Been training for months. It’s been very hard but will be worth it. I lost my dad in February and will be running for him as well.

From the moment that bell rings you just keep going until the finish line. So happy completing my first half marathon. Definitely doing it again next year 🏃‍♂️

Wow! The way this video captures the essence of the day is just perfect. It's awe-inspiring to see our great city showcased from such unique perspectives. What truly touched my heart, though, was participating with and witnessing people of all abilities and backgrounds come together. This is a testament to not just the running community, but also the best of what humanity can be!

Would love to see all the b roll footage of the magpie swooping the drone!

Congrats to all!

Looks amazing. I signed up this year but couldn't run due to a running injury. Looking forward to next year.

Shout out to the Volunteers and pacers who both did a great job again this year 🎉

This video only shows the beautiful and the fast runners. To me, the 5 hour plus senior runners are just as worthy and should be featured here.

can't wait for next year when can we sign up 🤣

Вдохновляюще снято. Когда у Австралии появится новый Роберт де Кастелла- мировой рекорд в марафоне? Для страны лучших в мире пловцов для разнообразия нужны наследники Рона Кларка и Херби Эллиота

My griddy over the finish line wasn’t there 😢
