07.01.2022 Meet one of our inspiring Ambassador’s for this year’s race, Nicky Hamilton-Morris! As a passionate advocate for women in sport and the continued inclusivity of women in all sport, Nicky has been running now for seven years. After a team-sport injury in soccer that required a full knee reconstruction in 2012, Nicky turned to running as part of her recovery. She registered for a 10km run to start building her strength again and from there, couldn’t stop! A year later, Nicky ...completed a half marathon, then a marathon, followed by 12 more, and one ultra-marathon! But wait, there’s MORE! Nicky has also conquered the Boston Marathon and has since made herself a promise to run each of the six famous marathons in the World Marathon Majors series, covering Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, London and Tokyo. Would you believe she has already ticked off New York and Berlin, and this year will participate in Chicago? Absolutely unstoppable! We are stoked to welcome her on board as an ambassador of the Puffing Billy Running Festival and can’t wait to see her have a crack at beating the train! Join Nicky on the 25km and get registering! www.puffingbillyrunningfestival.com.au
