Anna

Anna has been a passionate endurance Athlete and outdoor adventurer for over 20 years. Here’s what she has to say.

“Running is my main love which I started in my early teens with my Dad. The passion grew off the back of some difficult times I experienced in my late teens and early twenties, which has led me to become a huge advocate for improving mental health through the outdoors and I welcome all diverse groups to join me on the events we offer where possible I’ve flirted with cycling and triathlon and for a number of years I competed in Mountain Bike Enduro, however, I always come back to running.

I am a part of the Centurion Running Coaching Team and hold qualifications with UK Athletics (LiRF, FLiRF) , Mountain Training association (Summer Mountain Leader), Duke of Edinburgh Assessor, Snowdonia Ambassador, Mental health First Aider, REC2 First Aid and I also volunteer with The Samaritans.

My passion for adventure has taken me to some amazing parts of the world and I have been lucky enough to have competed in some iconic races during this time and continue to do so today at an international level as well as locally.

I grew up in the lowlands of Wiltshire where I had limited access to the great outdoors so my love and enthusiasm has come from my own desire to get out, get dirty and immerse myself in all the wonderful places there are to run, hike, cycle and sometimes just sit and watch the world go by.

I now live in North Wales with my New Zealand Huntaway, Diego and welcome you to join me in sharing some of the amazing places there are to experience in Eryri (Snowdonia) and beyond”
