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. I initially trained as a UK Athletics Fell Running Coach so that I could add theory to my experience of mountain running and ultramarathon racing. Keen to add to my mountain experience, in 2021 I qualified as a Mountain Leader and am a UESCA certified ultrarunning coach.
I started competing in running events in 2008, celebrating my 30th birthday with a mountain marathon. Over the past 12 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:
-
Lakes 10 Peaks 1st Lady;
-
10 Peaks Brecon Beacons 3rd lady;
-
Saltburn Trail Marathon, 4th lady.
I have also completed the Lakeland 50 five times, 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.
