Introducing BMRST2025 Team Member Zoe Berry

Meet Zoe Berry – an early morning runner who kicks off her day with sourdough crumpets, banana, and honey, chasing the post-run endorphin high that fuels her positivity. A big fan of the City to Bay and especially the half marathon distance, Zoe’s running journey is inspired by Aussie star Izzi Batt-Doyle. While the thought of a marathon looms large (and so does the occasional “could I outrun a bear?” moment on long runs), Zoe’s determination keeps her focused—especially with Places to Be by Fred again pumping through her headphones. Whether she's recovering with a salted caramel protein bar or showing off her skills on the water as an avid water skier, Zoe brings energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. For her, being part of BMRST2025 is simply inspiring.
