The finisher’s medals for the 2024 Gold Coast Marathon presented by ASICS have been revealed, featuring a design by Aboriginal Artist, Daisy Hill.

Daisy Hill, a proud Muruwari woman and Contemporary Aboriginal Artist, grew up living between the ocean and hinterland, and draws inspiration for her art from the beautiful environment of Yugambeh.

Daisy says the artwork design was created to celebrate movement, resilience, determination and the unity found in shared dreams – the spirit of the Gold Coast Marathon.

She explains the essence of the design is to honour coming together for the event as many people with one dream. Together, there is a shared purpose to have fun, compete, inspire one another and make lifelong memories together.

And taking her involvement in this year’s event to the next level, Daisy will also compete in the half marathon this year for the first time.  She has pledged proceeds from her fundraising to the Indigenous Marathon Foundation.

“Completing a marathon is a significant undertaking that will leave a lasting imprint on one’s life,” Daisy said.

“I hope each finisher and participant enjoys the essence and spirit of my artwork design as a reminder of the strength, resilience and determination they each hold within.”
