Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Seeing the older athletes, I’m like, that’s what I want to do!”

“The inspiration watching those in their 70s/80s, still out there running, I’m like, that’s what I want to do. There’s just no giving up.”

“Inspiration everywhere to just get up and do it!”

“You watch the Olympics and people are in awe of performance. You watch an event like this, you know the 40, 50, 60 year old age group, hopefully it inspires people to get out of the arm chair and say: ‘Actually, I could do that!”

“We love to see all the other sports as well!”

“We try and attend different sports depending on what’s going on and depending on what we are doing in terms of sightseeing.”
