I first ran the WHWrace in 2008. I had been part of the crew for my husband Mark in 2005. It was not ever really a plan to enter the WHWrace until  after I started getting drawn into ultra races and ran the Devil o race that year 2005.

 

I have always been a runner since my school days. I always ran track and cross country then, until I discovered the fells.  The ultra running is really just a progression from doing longer fell races and seeing if I could finish them.

 

I just love being out in the hills.   There is something very special about meeting up with fellow running friends in Milngavie, mid summer in June and running into the night to start the WHW adventure.
