To celebrate International Women’s Day we are excited to share a series of personal stories from the inspirational women we know and admire…

Our first story comes from the world-class extreme endurance runner, Lowri Morgan. Not only has Lowri faced some of the biggest challenges any person can imagine, but she is also a very successful television presenter, author, and mother. We were delighted to have Lowri take part in the JCP Swansea Half Marathon and the M&D Care Llanelli Half Marathon last year and hope that she will take part in many more (although we're not quite sure if any of them will fit into her busy schedule)! 

To read her story on how she overcame debilitating injury, went on to complete the Jungle Ultra Marathon, and become the second female finisher in the gruelling 6633 Arctic Ultra CLICK HERE. Alternatively, you can listen to her story as she describes her challenges and ambitions for the future in the Front Runner Radio podcast episode HERE. 

Our second story comes from Susannah Gill. Susannah is the female World Marathon Challenge world record holder for running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. She completed the feat in February 2019 when she ran 295km and travelled 55,000 miles in 168 hours. To read her story CLICK HERE.
