Kelly Ruddick is an Australian athlete, having had most success in racewalking. She was born in Footscray, Victoria, Australia, on 19 April, 1973. Soon after, she shifted to Ballarat, Vic, with her parents, Dawn and Kevin Ruddick, where she has lived ever since. She has brothers Christopher and David and four children, Jesse, Jules, Casey and Charlie.
Kelly was educated at Mt Pleasant Primary School and Mt Clear Secondary College, where her running ability was first noticed when she broke school records in athletics and cross country running. She joined Ballarat Harriers at age 15, and won the Ballarat outstanding athlete award at 16, being undefeated at running at the local athletic track that year. Numerous injury problems have plagued her athletic career, (e.g. shin splints) limiting her success, and at 35 years of age, she tried racewalking to see if she could cope without injury. National success at racewalking came soon after, but no doubt age was not on her side.
