Bruce Hargreaves

Bruce "Digger" Hargreaves (born 1953) is an Australian amateur athlete, corporate speaker and businessperson. He has completed 150 marathons and 45 ultramarathons as at October 2018.

Hargreaves is a Melbourne Marathon Spartan Legend, meaning that he has completed it every year since it began in 1978. He was the Australian Ambassador for the Comrades Marathon from 2008 until 2015, and competed in the event seven times.[1]

He has race directed, coordinated and advised numerous races, and was a regular pacer in various marathons. A serious illness in 2018 slowed him down, so he volunteered as a "sweeper" at the Gold Coast Marathon.

Hargreaves' personal best in the marathon is 2:47:02. He has run a sub-3 hour marathon nine times.
