Hey, I’m Sara.
I am attempting to be the first female to run the North Coast 500 whilst setting the overall record.
WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE?
516 miles.
10,000meters of elevation.
Under 5 days and 23 hours (current fastest known time).
Rugged exposed roads around the North Coast of Scotland following the North Coat 500 route.
Starting Wednesday 4th June 2025.
My Why
I am attempting to set the fastest known time for the North Coast 500 route to show that gender shouldn’t be a barrier when accomplishing dreams.
I have found comfort in accepting running is my special interest. I know the run will be physically, emotionally and mentally challenging, but for me, as a high-masking autistic female, the real challenge for me, will be everything outside of the run.
I want to show that in spite of my autism, I have found strategies to allow myself to challenge the narrative society has placed on those labelled autistic and have set my own goals that might not make sense to the average person.
