Update: 2020-02-07
Description
Rhys Jenkins is a seasoned ultra marathon fanatic, and owner of Pegasus Ultra Running races. (www.pegasusultrarunning.com) He’s spent the last decade building an impressive resume of ultra running feats, including the Badwater 135 mile ultra in the California desert , the 145 MILE GUCR, 145 MILE KACR and 135 MILE LLRC CANALSLAM as well as a 2,000 mile run across the USA.
Rhys has raised over £50,000 for charity and is an ambassador for the Cystic Fibrosis Warriors charity. In recognition of his charity work, Rhys was honoured as an Olympic torch bearer for the London 2012 games. We met Rhys and his wife Cerys at the Birmingham Running Show and knew we had to have him on. His message of inclusivity for all in ultra and dogged work ethic (he collapsed on mile 40 of a 135 mile ultra in the hottest place on earth - and kept going) is an inspiration to us all.
