The North Face has an impressive history of supporting athletes and currently sponsors Elizabeth Hawker who is a contributor to our own gearforgirlsblog.
Lizzy is relatively new to the world of ultra-distance and endurance running, having fallen into it more by chance than design during the last three years. However, during that time her achievements have snowballed, being first woman in the 2005 edition of The North Face Ultra-Trail Tour du Mont Blanc and culminating in Gold at the 2006 100km World Championships. She has also set new records in the Zermatt Marathon and Davos 78km Alpine Run, and has represented England and Great Britain in the 100km.
In 2007 Lizzy broke the record for running from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu.
Her real love is the mountains and the most important thing for her is to always run simply for the love of it, with the heart and soul as well as the head and legs.
Lizzy is passionate about the Antarctic, mountains and wilderness, and is deeply concerned about preserving the environment. She is committed to the principles of conservation and sustainability. She is an environmental scientist by training (a mountain-loving polar oceanographer) and has taken part in numerous research cruises to the Antarctic and Southern Ocean.
Her dream is to encourage people to realise the sanctuary and inspiration of the mountains, the richness of our environment and our responsibility to protect it, and the value of challenging yourself both physically and mentally.
