Meet the Race Hub Australia team:
Jack Green: Founder and Race Director
I’ve always been passionate about running, coming from a family of runners with a personal best of 14:52 for 5k up to 2:32 for the marathon—though I’m still only the 4th fastest in my family! I’m originally from the UK, but have now been in Australia for over 6 years. Post lockdowns, I noticed a lack of races in the calendar compared to the UK, and thought with the continuing growth of running in Australia, that more races would be beneficial to the whole running community.
On race day, I typically oversee all aspects, with a special focus on ensuring the course is set up correctly, so that runners don’t complain when their Strava records a 9.99km.
A month before launching Race Hub Australia in early 2024, I married Caitlin in South Australia, surrounded by our family. What a year!
Caitlin Cunningham: Event Village Manager, Operations & Admin
As the Event Village Manager, I bring my nursing and operations background to create an energetic and friendly environment for everyone on race day. I’m in charge of the event village, making sure logistics run smoothly, and everything’s ready for a great day. My goal is to help everyone have an awesome experience they’ll remember long after the finish line. Come find me on race day and say hello!
My first ever official race was the Sydney 10k, which I entered to surprise Jack. Completing the race was an unforgettable experience that sparked my passion for running and event management. Since then, I’ve done a number of races, but I’ll admit I still feel a bit intimidated because I’m not a great runner. I don’t run as much as I should, but I absolutely love the race day atmosphere—it’s such an energizing experience.
Sara Ringham: Athlete Services and Volunteer Coordinator
I am a back of the pack runner, I have and will never be a podium finisher, but that is what I love so much about Race Hub Australia is their inclusivity, taking the ‘elite factor’ out of running events. Running is and should always be for every body!
I have run in events regularly since 2019, last competing the Sydney Marathon in 2024 with my uncle who came all the way from Boston to run with me, finishing at the finish line, seeing my Dad for the first time in nearly 10 years was an incredible way to experience that finish line.
What do I love about running? Finding new places to run, running and exploring new routes, meeting and encouraging new people – generally the back of the packers like me.
Lauren Sutton: Head of Marketing & Brand
With a background in content and a passion for running, my worlds truly collided when I became Head of Marketing at Race Hub Australia. Running has not only fuelled my love for movement and community, but also opened the door to exploring new places and experiencing incredible opportunities along the way. It’s a sport — and a lifestyle — that I owe a great deal to.
For me, nothing beats lacing up, hitting the path, and getting some miles in — preferably in the early morning. The sense of accomplishment, paired with the mental clarity running brings, is something that never gets old. Running has always been my go-to; it’s about so much more than chasing distances or times. It’s the escapism found in solo runs and the shared elation that comes with the running community — and to me, there’s simply nothing better.

The event does not require any formal training. With multiple race distance options, you have the choice to enter the event that best suits your skill and fitness level.

Follow us on social media where we post plenty of training tips that you can follow.
There are no start waves for any of the races. Participants should self-seed themselves at the start line. Your race time doesn’t begin until you cross the timing mat at the start line therefore there’s no need to worry about being at a disadvantage if you have self-seeded yourself towards the back of the group.
We’d strongly advise against it – the nature of the events mean that you need to be aware of your surroundings and be able to hear marshal instructions.
