Holly Symons
Ultra runner and age-group long-distance triathlete
Holly has always been a keen runner but she did her first 50-mile ultra in 2012 and has since completed several, including the Marathon des Sables in 2015. Following the birth of her two daughters, who are now her running buddies and biggest supporters, she completed a bucket- list Ironman and became hooked. This is now her training focus (with a few ultras thrown in) as she managed to win a Kona qualifying spot in 2022, so is heading back to Bolton in 2023 to try and win another.
