Lucy Bartholomew

When Lucy was just 15 years old she stepped into the world of ultra-running as she ran her first 100km alongside her dad, Ash Bartholomew. From this time, Lucy discovered her love for the sport and travelled the world running, notably placing second at the 80km of Marathon du Mont-Blanc, winning the 100km at Ultra-Trail Cape Town, and placing third at the Western States 100 in 2018. More recently, in 2023, Lucy achieved a top-10 finish at UTMB and, shortly after, competed at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, which made her one of only two women who raced UTMB and the Ironman World Championships in the same year. Based in Australia, Lucy runs to connect with nature and community and is well-known for her sunny outlook on life, her determined attitude, and her ability to enjoy the process, even when things get tough.
