- We all have something big that we dream about doing, but too often we stop ourselves because logic says it's not possible. Through Stephanie's stories of training in active regions of conflict for ultra marathon races, you'll learn how a little crazy and impossible can change your life.
Stephanie is a human rights lawyer, accomplished ultrarunner and the President and Founder of Free to Run, a charity that uses sport to empower women and girls from conflict-affected areas. From a shipping container in Afghanistan to a tent in South Sudan, Stephanie has lived in some of the most dangerous and difficult areas on earth, providing direct assistance to vulnerable populations in need. She witnessed first-hand the harmful effects of conflict on communities, particularly for females, and the restrictions that women and girls faced from participating in public life. As an athlete herself, she saw an avenue for sports to help address some of these basic issues of inequality. Stephanie recently moved to Geneva after working for two years in Gaza, Palestine. She currently works for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and serves as President of Free to Run in a volunteer capacity.

This was great, thanks Steph!
I loved this Steph - you're an inspiration.
I watched this after listening to your interview on Ultrarunner Podcast. I'm signed up for my first 200 this year (Tahoe), but you really have me thinking about the Tor des Geants after that.
i am from aosta valley, trust me man that race is insane , not in a good way
It's an incredible race. I've now done it four times and hoping to go back for a fifth! How was the Tahoe 200?
Satan hates women and children.
"What an inspiration" is an understatement!
Run the race that is set out for you with perseverance, Hebrews 12:1.
Remember 1 John 3:4, sin is lawlessness.
