Toby Gillen

My name is Toby Gillen. I am a 25-year-old professional distance runner, specialising in the 5km, and signed with ON Running as a sponsored athlete. Originally from Cairns, I ran collegiately at the University of Mississippi (2023–2025) in the US before turning pro. The job means a year-round international racing and training calendar; recent stints have included an altitude camp in St. Moritz and racing in Belgium, so expect early nights, structured routines, and stretches away from home for competitions and training blocks.

Outside of running, I'm into surfing, tennis, beach days, and camping, and I'm always up for good food and travel. I also have a long-running interest in investing, plus a habit of going down rabbit holes on history and philosophy.
