Sara Stace’s story- co-founder of Better Streets, and one of our six marathon runners. Sara isn’t only taking on the Sydney Marathon but a total of three marathons, for the organisation she helped build.

3 marathons in 3 months - Gold Coast in July, Sydney in August and Berlin in September - Sara is not one to do things half-heartedly.

After years of watching good planning ideas drown in bureaucracy, she took matters into her own hands and founded Better Streets. 
On race day, she’ll be running for every pedestrian crossing that got deprioritised, every footpath that never made the budget, and every kid who still can’t walk to school safely.

Support Sara’s run and help Better Streets keep pushing for safer and healthier streets that welcome people of all ages and abilities.

Also come out and cheer the team on, while experiencing the streets opened up to people running and cheering!
