Lizzy Hawker Kathmandu Rim FKT

[Ito Jakuchu]

Lizzy Hawker did an FKT around Kathmandu, with roughly 200Km and 15.000 meters of gain.

British ultrarunning legend Lizzy Hawker recently ran somewhat more than 125 miles including more than 15,000 meters of elevation gain on trails encircling Nepal’s capitol, Kathmandu, in 35 hours, 39 minutes and 22 seconds. In one go. Without sleeping, or lying down. With a headlamp, and some sandwiches. On her 40th birthday. After three years of injury.

Apart from all her UTMB records, Everest Basecamp-Kathmandu FKTs, and all the other accomplishments, it is very nice to read her being back on a trail after such long injuries.

If you haven’t read her book, Runner: A Short Story about a Long Run, I can highly recommend it.
