Anna-Marie Watson 2025
Anna-Marie Watson is a running coach, former elite ultra-runner and can usually be found searching for the perfect trail with her four-legged trust hound Bryn. From the back of the pack to the podium her first foray into ultra-running was the CCC (2008) where she narrowly scraped through every check point with minutes to spare; then fast forward to 2017 she finished 7th lady, 5th Brit and top 100 at the UTMB; and placed seventh woman in the Ultra Tail World Tour (UTWT) annual ranking.
She’s tackled over 45+ ultras in her running career with some of the toughest ultras in the world from the Marathon des Sables (twice!), Diagonale de Fous and more. Over her career she’s been kindly supported by La Sportiva, WAA (What An Adventure), ULTRA-X and Veloforte.
Whether it’s your first trail race, an ultra or a multi-stage challenge, Anna-Marie offers training programmes, specialist advice around event preparation in harsh environments, and ninja mindset race strategies. Her athletes have tackled events from Marathon des Sables, Arctic Trail Ultra, Mozart 100, Lakeland 100 and more. She holds the Coach in Running Fitness (CiRF) qualification through England Athletics and was delighted to support the Harriers Trailblazers initiative in 2024.
