Ellie Pashley (born 10 December 1988) is an Australian athlete.[1] She competed in the women's 10,000 metres event at the 2019 World Athletics Championships.[2]
In June 2021, Pashley was selected as part of the Australian marathon team for the Tokyo Olympics.[3] She came twenty-third in the event.[4] Her time of 2:33.39 was just over 6 minutes more than the eventual winner, Peres Jepchirchir, of Kenya.[5]
Even when very young, Pashley knew she would be an athlete. For her first 15 years, she was quite casual about it, but when she got into her twenties she took up athletics more seriously. Pashley rose into the Australian top-8 all-time in the 10,000 m, half marathon, and marathon events. In primary school, as the races got longer, Pashley performed better, but it wasn't until high school that she did more with cross country and Little Athletics.[6]
