About Me
Ultra Running Adventurer
Scott Jenkins, is a Welsh Ultra endurance runner and philanthropist.
He has an impressive ultra running CV that spans across 12 years completing numerous challenges and races along the way.
He has run the deserts of Death Valley and Dubai, the canyons of Utah and forested wilderness of Washington state.
He has also ran across the freezing landscape of Iceland.
In 2021 he set the British course record at Moab 240 (77 hours and 2 minutes finishing 15th/227).
He also became only the 924th person in history to complete the official Badwater 135.
He has run 100 miles in sub 22hours and finished 6th overall in the UK’s Canalslam in 2019.
In 2022 Scott ran the Cocodona 250 Ultramarathon in Arizona and also the gruelling Bigfoot 200 in Washington State.
In the process he became the first ever welsh person to finish both of those respective races.
Scott’s ultra running adventures are a unique way for him to raise money for charities he’s passionate about, create memories and experiences with friends and family all whilst building a life CV.
Scott first got the “ultra running bug” after completing 75 marathons in 75 days from Boston to Austin 2000 miles in 2010.
He is also an ambassador for the Operation Smile charity and spent time on a charity mission to Mekele, Ethiopia to see and help first hand with the work that they do.
Over the course of the years the money he’s raised has helped achieve giving over 85 children the ability to smile for the 1st time.
Scott works full time in the corporate world for Johnson & Johnson so has also learnt a few things about balancing work with his passion for ultra running and adventure.
