Lucy Bartholomew – The People’s Champion 

Join us as we chat with one of Australia’s brightest young trail running superstars. 

At the tender age of 23 Lucy has tasted an enormous amount of success across the globe. Among a vast array of wins and course records she placed 3rd at the ultra prestigious Western States 100 in 2018. 

A very brief highlights list: 

1st UTA 100

1st Ultra Trail Cape Town

1st Buffalo Stampede

1st Tarawera Ultramarathon

2nd Marathon du Mont Blanc

3rd Western States 100miler 

Lucy is joined by her father Ash and we discuss everything from encouraging adventure in kids to the pressure of being a pro athlete in a digital world.  We also chat about the emergence of the plant base diet and the boom in the global trail running scene. 

Lucy is a wonderfully humble and knowledgeable young lady and I’m sure you’ll harvest a few pearls of wisdom from this open and informative chat.

Stay tuned afterwards for a wrap up of the Surf Coast Century 100km race.

Plenty of laughs throughout thanks to the team at Sydney Brewery.
