Canberra is gearing up for one of its biggest events of the year — the Canberra Times Marathon Festival is back this weekend, with thousands set to hit the pavement.

Across Saturday and Sunday, runners will take on everything from the 5K, 10K and Kids Dash… to the Half Marathon and full 42.2km Marathon — all starting near Old Parliament House and looping past iconic spots like Lake Burley Griffin and the Parliamentary Triangle.

So — what are Canberra’s top athletes listening to?

Hit 104.7’s Weekend Breakfast with Ellie Angel and Bethany Larsen revealed the running songs locals swear by — including the personal pump-up tracks from Nick Kyrgios and Josh Papali’i.

And here’s the twist…

👀 They couldn’t be more different.
