Sharon Gayter

Is one of Britains top ultra runners but gets relatively little recognition for her feats of endurance. Recently won what is billed as 'the worlds highest ultra' outright - meaning that she beat all the men on equal terms as well! There were only 6 finishers. She has numerous other records to her name and is the current Commonwealth 24hr champion. She is a genuine inspiration to other runners. She was not born into athletics, has asthma and yet has proved to everyone that knows her what can be achieved through hard work and focus. She could be an Olympic medalist for Britain if the sport was recognised.
