About the Event
The Moggill Marathon is a whole community fun-run event that was first instigated in 2020 by local Moggill residents David Ember, Emil Schoeman and friends.
“At this time, Emil and I were running Rocks Riverside Park Run every Saturday together for fun after we met late 2019 through our daughters attending the same prep class at Moggill State School” said David.
Initially David and Emil were daunted by the scale of the challenge ahead. The furthest they had run before was a half marathon. But training was going well, until in March, the pandemic kicked in and the Brisbane Marathon they had signed up for was cancelled. Thus they created their own marathon around the hills of Moggill starting and finishing at Westaway Park.
An exciting new partnership with Heritage Bank comes at a perfect time as we look forward to celebrating the five year anniversary of the event. Heritage Bank has a long history of supporting local communities, and their people-focused values align strongly with what the marathon represents, connection, wellbeing, and building something meaningful together.
We’re delighted to welcome Heritage Bank on board as the Major Sponsor for the next stage in the Heritage Bank Moggill Marathon’s growth.
