Sarah Cameron

About

Sarah Cameron is a British ultrarunner who discovered running at the age of 39, having moved to the south of France in 2003 with her husband Angus — an airline pilot — to operate a vineyard near Montauban. She jogged her first kilometre in 2012, entered a 10k in April 2013, and progressed to off-road ultra-distances with remarkable speed: she won a 100km race in Millau in 2015, just two years after her first competitive run. Her most prominent performances include the Centurion South Downs Way 100 in 2018, where she covered 100 miles from Winchester to Eastbourne in 18 hours and 14 minutes, and a 24-hour race in Albi in 2019 where she ran 215km — qualifying for Team GB at the age of 46. She went on to represent Great Britain in a six-hour event in Bordeaux in 2021. A serious accident requiring three surgeries and a hip replacement subsequently limited her racing, though she returned to finish a 50-mile race in Wendover in November 2025 and has since taken on a management role with Team GB while coaching private athletes. Her arc from non-runner at 39 to international representative — achieved through persistence rather than prior athletic background — is one of the more remarkable late-starter stories in British ultrarunning.
