Introducing BMRST2025 Team Member Noa Goddard

Meet Noa Goddard, one of our inspiring BMRST2025 team members whose love for early morning runs sets the tone for her day—and her training. A big fan of the 10km distance (not too short, not too far!), Noa finds joy in the rhythm of routine, with crumpets or peanut butter toast before her run and a well-earned ham and cheese croissant after. Her favourite race? The Barossa Marathon Festival. The race that scares her most? The marathon—but she's determined to conquer it one day. Inspired by her dad, who introduced her to running and modeled unwavering commitment, Noa runs with both purpose and pride. Off the track, she once shone in netball and touch footy, but running took the lead. With her Garmin on, POWER by Kanye in her head, and dreams of racing in Berlin or London with family, Noa says being part of BMRST2025 is an honour—and we couldn’t agree more.

My dad. He’s the one who brought running into my life. He always inspires and motivates me to keep going. Before getting injured, he never skipped a run, demonstrating commitment, and how you can achieve your goals.

★What’s a non-running talent or fun fact about you?

I was very good at netball and touch footy at school, and would have pursued one of the two if running wasn’t my priority.
