Women Run Ultras is about women supporting women to find the courage to access their own limits and find a community they belong in on the trails.

This was where the Women’s Spine Support Group started. it has been in the background of all my training and Spine Races so far. nothing beats a community of trail friends.

This is where our journey towards maximising our own potential starts; with a healthy body, a healthy approach guided by expert input.

I’m excited; I’ve grappled with sickness, injury and recovery over the years and I’m keen to make sure any races I have left are as enjoyable as they can be – the joy of sport is we never stop learning.

We aim to address female runners and endurance athletes of all ages and abilities. We will outline the knowledge you really need on female health and nutrition for ultras, and all endurance support.

Getting the basics right to maximise our own health, longevity and performance in our sport. This matters more than chasing the final 1% to gain an ‘elite edge’.

What have we already achieved?

In only a few months we have:

• Built an active virtual community of over 500 ultra-focused women
• Began weekly webinars covering entries, training, mandatory kit, drop bags, looking afer your feet and a detailed look at Spine checkpoints.
• Held an inaugural training weekend for 28 people in the Lake District. These weekends create physical communities that translate into training and recce groups and – most importantly – trail friends.
• Sold out a second training weekend in Wales in October in just seven minutes.

We are focused on showing how to take the right next steps into ultra-running, wherever you are in your journey.
