Grace Natoli - 70+ marathons & ultras including: New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Berlin


Renata Chlumska  - Adventure athlete who became the first Swedish and Czech woman to climb Mount Everest and in 2005 did a circumnavigate of the lower 48 States of the United States by her own power.

Grace in her own words:

“I’m driven by the need to inspire other people of colour on to the trails.

I want to increase diversity and participation in endurance running.

I’m also tired of being the only Black person at endurance events and feeling like I don’t belong.

I’ve run 70+ marathons including ultras, and I’m still going.”
