“My Mate & Honorary KIDSMARATHON Ambassador, Jeff Benjamin has been passionately covering our Sport since the 1980’s! He’s a very biased writer in that he only brings out the POSITIVE forces that should be at the forefront of our Running/Track & Field landscape! Sorry Friends - No Negativity Total Positively!!"

“Jeff Benjamin is the James Brown of the athletics  journalism world. Hardest working running writer out there. I watched him first hand at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene and the man was simply everywhere!  He also knows just about everybody! Depend on Jeff for a fair and balanced viewpoint as well.  He cares most about the welfare of our Sport and the people who do it!”
