ABOUT
ME
My name is Kate and I am happiest when I am running, walking and climbing in the mountains and moors of the UK.
I am an experienced ultrarunner and am excited to be able to share my love for running and the outdoors with other people. As a UESCA certified ultrarunning coach and UK Athletics Fell Running Coach my approach is underpinned by research but focuses on the athlete as an individual. I am a qualified Mountain Leader and NNAS tutor with extensive experience of teaching hill skills and navigation.
​
I started competing in running events in 2008, celebrating my 30th birthday with a mountain marathon. Over the past 17 years I have completed dozens of ultra distance races as well as many of my own challenges. In 2018 I completed a Bob Graham Round and in April 2021 ran an unsupported round of Joss Naylor’s beautiful Lakes, Meres and Water route.
Race finishes include:
-
Montane Winter Spine Race 2025, 7th lady
-
Lakes 10 Peaks 1st lady
-
10 Peaks Brecon Beacons 3rd lady
I also have 6 Lakeland 50 finishes, and have completed the Northern Traverse, Transvulcania ultramarathon; Lavaredo Trail race, Montane Cheviot Goat; Lakes in a Day; White Rose Ultra; and Ham and Lyme race, to name just a few.
​
I’m definitely a normal person with a very ordinary life!
That includes my fair share of ‘failure’ and working through it. I just love being & exploring outdoors, sometimes it’s the challenge of something beyond my comfort zone, but mostly it’s just for the joy of wild places.
