Jenna Challenor stole the hearts of 1000’s when she crawled her way to a Comrades 4th place victory, yes 4th - why is this such a remarkable feat you may ask? Because of the broad smile that she wore across her face from start to finish.

A year prior to lining up at the start of the 2022 Comrades Marathon, Jenna was clawing her way back from long-COVID. An experience that she feared may have brought a premature end to her professional athletic career.

Beneath the iron-clad determination and perfectly poised exterior is a marvellous woman who runs to honour the little girl in her who started running for the love of it.

And through it all she remains an authentic, true-to-herself, quick witted, Wonder Woman, a mother to 3 daughters, wife and inspiration to anyone who dares to dream…

Listen and be inspired by ultra-marathon running’s darling, Jenna Challenor.
