Ultra Runner Anna Troup is a winner of the Brutal Montane Spine Race, one of the world’s toughest ultra marathon races, 268 miles along the spine of England through some of the country’s wildest and most unforgiving terrain, taking place in the depths of winter. Anna was the first woman over the finish line in 106 hours, 19 minutes and 12 seconds. Anna is not a sponsored, professional athlete, she is a 56 year old, mother of 2 girls. Known for her steady pacing and consistent approach to training, Anna balances the demands of work, family life and training for big ultra races alongside a genetic foot condition and encourages other women to do Ultra running and reach their personal goals

The evening will conclude with a Q&A
