About Sophie Power
I’ll be taking on the biggest challenge of my life – attempting to set a Guinness World Record and become the fastest woman to cross Ireland, from Malin Head in the north to Mizen Head in the south.
The current record is 3 days, 15 hours, 36 minutes set by the amazing Mimi Anderson in 2012. To beat it I’ll have to run over 100 miles (160km) every day! I plan on taking only 20-40 minutes of sleep per night to do this.
I’m passionate about breaking down barriers for women and girls in sport, and so I’m running to raise money for SheRACES. There is so much work to be done, but with your help we can drive real change – so please support me if you can!
You can track me here! My crew will read out all your messages to me as I run to keep me going (bad jokes very welcome!).
For more information about the challenge – and live updates and tracking – please follow me on instagram @ultra_sophie.

SheRACES
Breaking barriers for women and girls in sports
We believe a woman's place is on the start line.
SheRACES works to research barriers, develop solutions and collaborate and campaign for equity for women in races - from running, to cycling, triathlon and more. We empower women to advocate for change through sharing our research and guidelines, as well as supporting events to implement them.
We have already impacted millions of women around the world, making races more equitable - from equal prize money, to period product provision, inclusive media coverage and more.
Notable campaign successes include pregnancy deferrals at London and Chicago marathons, as well as our guidelines accepted by UTMB globally.
There is so much more to be done, so please support our work!
