Runner takes us along on Lizzy Hawker’s ultra running journey, from her first ultra race, the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc, through her racing career, including five first place finishes in the UTMB, three runs from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu, Nepal, a Spartathlon win, and a 100km World Championship. Lizzy’s running journey is like many of the challenges and journeys we all face in our lives. Her perseverance in tough conditions, focus on her goals, willingness to take risks, and continuously overcoming the odds to achieve greatness make her a Modern Athena.
