Sophie Power (born 1982) is a British ultrarunner. [1] [2] [3]
In 2023, Power ran her 24 hour personal best of 235.739 km (146.481 mi) in Crawley. [3] Later that year, she represented Great Britain in the IAU 24 Hour World Championship in Taipei, where she ran 227 km (141 mi). [4] [5]
In 2018, a picture of Power went viral: breastfeeding her baby whilst participating in the 171 km (106 mi) Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. [6] [7] [8] This led to her setting up SheRACES, helping races be more inclusive to female athletes. [9] For example, SheRACES convinced London Marathon to allow pregnancy deferrals. [10] After her third child was born, Power made a documentary with Hoka about returning to running postpartum. [11]
In 2024, Power ran the length of Ireland – 347 miles (558 km) from Malin Head to Mizen Head – in a record time of 3 days 12 hours 8 minutes. [12] [13]
Power is a Trustee of the Charity Women in Sport. [14] She writes for magazines including Runner's World . [15]
