Julianne Fox

Adventurer Jules Fox is making a comeback! 15 years ago Jules was an ultra-distance trail runner (before trail running was cool) and raced 100 km events in Antarctica, Nepal, New Zealand and back home in Australia. While training for her next challenge, running across the Simpson Desert, she was hit by a car while cycling and sustained significant leg, torso and shoulder injuries. It was a long and complex rehab. After being told she would never run again she turned her focus to ultra cycling and cycled across the Simpson Desert, completed gruelling 7 day cycling challenges and has 9 entries in the cycling Everesting hall of fame. Determined to overcome any limitation, Jules tried to return to running multiple times - all of which ended with fractures and frustration. After shifting focus to build strength, her recent attempts to run have been more successful - she has even managed to run her first marathon! The World Marathon Challenge - the ultimate adventure, will require Jules to draw on her mental courage and endurance. By sharing her story, Jules hopes to inspire others to be brave and challenge the status quo.
