Marleen Ribbens
I’m an experienced trail and ultra runner with a strong background in long, technical mountain races. I’ve completed multiple ultras in the 60-80 km range, including races with 4000 m of elevation gain. I regularly train on steep, technical terrain and I’m very comfortable running long distances on tired legs.
At the moment I’m in a focused build‑up for the UTMB CCC (100km/6000+) in August, so my training volume, climbing, and technical work are all at a high level.
I work well in a team, stay calm in challenging conditions, and genuinely enjoy the mix of endurance, navigation, and adventure that this event is known for.
If you’re still looking for a strong and reliable senior runner, I’d be excited to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your team. My number 0031 (0) 619416638.
Katrina Hemingway
I am a keen fell runner (WSEN Age 30) and sailor looking for a boat to join for this year’s Scottish Island Peaks Race. It would be my first time on the race but I have experience sailing yachts and dinghies in the UK and abroad and have a Competent Crew Certificate as well as an aptitude for cooking on rough seas! I completed the Bob Graham 2 years ago and regularly compete in the Lake District, where I am from, as a member of Ambleside AC.
I would be happy to get involved with any required aspects of joining the race and can organise my own transport to the startline. If you have space I’d love to hear from you at hemingwaykatrina@gmail.com
Robbie Winfield

Graham Law
I’m looking for a boat to join for this year’s Scottish Island Peaks Race. I’ve taken part in the 3 Peaks Yacht Race as few years ago and enjoyed it immensely so hoping to set sail again. I’ve got plenty of experience with ultramarathons and mountain running, my most recently challenges being the Spine race in Jan and the Western States 100 in the summer. I would be happy to let you know more about my running CV upon request.
I’m happy to get stuck into all aspects of the race, from big hill days to boat jobs. I helped out with the cooking and also got involved with the sailing in the 3 Peaks Yacht Race.
If you’ve got a space for a runner, I’d love to hear from you! graham12@hotmail.com or 07402714237
(I can help search for a second runner also)
