Sophie Geraghty was this year unveiled as a 'Feel Good Ambassador' for the Surf Coast Century, and it's not hard to see why.

But when you scratch under the surface of this bubbly, incredibly strong, self described mediocre ultra runner, you get a deeper story.

As Sophie tells in her bio to Rapid Ascent:

Sophie is now such a powerful voice in ultra running, and is incredibly passionate about women's representation in the sport

She became part of the Coast to Kosci family last year, completed her first edition, and proudly earning her Akubra. But, her events list is like a greatest hits of Australian ultra running.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
