OUR AMBASSADORS

Bianca

Bianca is no stranger to Threshold Sports, having cycled from Land’s End to John O’Groats as part of our Ride Across Britain event in 2024. She is now taking on a new challenge at Endure24 Leeds to see how far she will go as a pair with her partner Alan.

As chair and co-founder of FundHer Tri UK, Bianca is pursuing gender parity in triathlon and encouraging more women to be at the start line. We cannot wait to see what incredible things Bianca achieves in 2025.

Chloe

After completing her first ultra last year at the Day Two – Ridgeline 50k at Race to the Stones, Chloe is back to take on the full 100km.

Chloe is a children’s nurse working in mental health and finds that running keeps her balanced. She embodies our More Is In You manta and we know she will smash the 100km at Race to the Stones – make sure to give her a wave out on the Ridgeway!

Dan

Dan began running to help with his mental and physical health and decided to run 5km a day for a whole year. Since then he’s gone from strength to strength, and his running journey continues to blossom.

Dan is having a Threshold year, taking part in all our events, including Race to the King 100km, Race to the Stones 100km – and braving Endure24 Solo!

Deborah

As one of our 2024 Ultra 50:50 Challengers, Deborah took on her first 50k with us last year. Written on her arms were the names of 50 people whose lives had, like hers, been touched by cancer – she ticked off a kilometre for each person during the race.

This year, Deborah is back to take on her second ultra at Race to the Stones. Navigating the challenges of living and training with a stoma, Deborah’s resilience and positivity is truly inspiring for all of us at Threshold, and we are so delighted to welcome her back to our events.

Inein

Being surrounded by trails in his home of South Wales, Inein is spoilt for choice when running. Trail running is Inein’s safe place, providing time for him to “think, pray, reflect and realign.”

Having Race to the King a handful of times, completing the 50km Coastal route last year, Inein is taking on his first 100km this year at Race to the Stones, with one goal in mind: “to finish feeling strong and smiling.”

Joe

2024 saw Joe have a record-breaking year as he became the new record holder for Race to the King, running the course in an astounding 9:01:51. Joe is also the course record holder at Endure24 Leeds and Reading – a bona fide Threshold legend!

Joe is running 100km at Race to the Stones this summer – potentially adding another event to his record-breaking resume. Keep an eye out for Joe at the finish line.

Juliette

Juliette has a busy year ahead, starting off by completing a different sport each day this February before switching her attention back to running. Juliette will also be taking part in the challenging Castle 50k at Race to the King this summer.

After starting running as a way to fundraise money for a charity close to her heart, Juliette soon discovered she found a special joy in being on the trails. Since then, she has taken on numerous challenges and has been a passionate voice working to improve diversity in outdoor spaces. Race to the King has been on her list for a long time and 2025 is her year!

Lewis

An experienced cyclist, Lewis will be swapping his cleats for running trainers as he takes on his first ultramarathons this year at Race to the King and Race to the Stones.

He’ll be toeing the line for the 50km Coastal loop at King and setting off to take on 100km at Stones. To top that off, Lewis is looking to take on Endure24 with a team of friends.

Lisa

Lisa was one of our incredible Ultra 50:50 Challengers for 2024 and is now one of our Ambassadors for this year. She will be taking part in Race to the King, running the 50km Coastal route.

Being a teacher means Lisa has long days. Running gives her an opportunity to switch off and find time for herself. She was introduced to trail running by Black Trail Runners and hasn’t looked back since.

Lydia

A force in the ultrarunning world, Lydia has already taken on Race to the Stones and Race to the King, but there’s unfinished business with the latter. This time, she’s coming back stronger, determined to cross that finish line!

Her mission? To inspire more women to dive into the world of ultramarathons. With a track record of incredible achievements, Lydia is proof that limits are meant to be pushed.

Maccartney

Mac is no stranger to Threshold events, having taken part in Race to the Stones in 2023 and 2024.

This year, he will not only be running 100km at Race to the King, but also taking part in Endure24 with his run club Mafia Moves. Endure24 is a new experience for Mac, holding both excitement and nerves at the prospect. Who knows – a new PB could be on the cards?

Marvin

Marvin has taken part in many of our events over the years, and this year, he’s going full send – taking on Race to the Stones, Race to the King and Endure24!

After completing Race to the Stones on his third attempt last year, Marvin is back and training to give the 100km another go, with the hopes of improvin – with Race to the King Coastal 50km as a warm-up.

Nazrin

You may recognise Nazrin as one of our amazing Ultra 50:50 Challengers from 2024, or for her incredible work as a founder of sheRUNS, a community advocating for more ethnically diverse women to run and move.

Nazrin took part in her first ultramarathon last year at Race to the King, and this year, she is back for more! She will be running the UK’s biggest ultramarathon across the ancient Ridgeway, Race to the Stones, and we have every faith she will smash it.

Ruth

Teacher Ruth took on her first 50km ultra at Race to the Stones last year. She enjoyed it so much that she couldn’t resist taking on the full 100km in 2025! 

Although the distance may seem daunting, Ruth is determined to enjoy the journey, and is focussing on a strategy that will allow her to enjoy the whole race and finish happy.  We are so excited to see Ruth cross the finish line with a smile! 

Semeena

Semeena was one of our Ultra 50:50 Challengers and ran Race to the King last year. This year, she is switching it up and is taking on 50km at Race to the Stones.

Wanting to inspire other Muslim and South Asian women to take part in ultras is just one of Semeena’s aspirations. She is a co-founder of Sudhan Welfare Society, and her walking programme provides South Asian women in Crawley an opportunity to get outside and experience the same therapy running has given her.

Sophie

Sophie currently holds the record for Race to the King 100km, after running 10:31:19 last year. Not only that, but Sophie also went on to win the 100k event at Race to the Stones a month later!

She is back again in 2025 to take on both races again, and who knows – more records could be smashed!

Sophie hopes to inspire fellow mothers to get out and achieve their dreams. She is truly an all-time Threshold Trail Series great, and we cannot wait to see what she achieves this year.

Tasha

Tasha Thompson is the founder of Black Girls Do Run, an online and in-person community platform to show that everyday regular black women do and can run.

After completing her first 50k at Race to the King last year, Tasha is stepping up to take on 100km at Race to the Stones in 2025.

Tommy

Tommy is no stranger to ultra-running, and after recently quitting his corporate job to focus on his new podcast and coaching hub: That’s Runnable, Tommy is ready to take on new challenges.

This year, Tommy will be running Endure24 as a Pair with his friend. Running as a team will be a new experience for Tommy, and he is looking forward to taking on the challenge as part of his training for his first 100-mile event in the USA this summer.
