Scott Jenkins, is a Welsh ultrarunner from Penarth, now based in London.

Scott is an Operation Smile Uk And Squirrel’s Nut Butter ambassador, he has been a guest and speaker at the Notional Running Show and has raised money for different charities over the years including Operation Smile.

He is the brother to Rhys Jenkins who was a guest on Episode 29 of the Podcast.

He has an incredible List of running achievements, which could never be justified by an introductions, however - here are just a couple;

Scott and Rhys and their friend also completed 2,000 miles across America from Boston to Austin to raise money for different charities which was actually, technically one of their first ultra marathons - and furthest distance to date.

Scott, like his brother has completed the Grand Canal Slam which includes

145 mile Grand Union Canal Race, 145 Mile Kennet & Avon Canal Race and the 130 Mile Leeds -Liverpool Canal Race - achieving the Grand Canal Slam.

He and his brother have ran across Iceland - 250 miles.

He became the first Welshman to complete the MOAB 240 Mile in Utah, a 240 mile footrace through desert, canyons, rock, and two mountain ranges.

Excitingly, this year Scott has now qualified for Badwater 135 - the second Welshman to qualify - second to his Brother Rhys.

Both Rhys and Scott have achieved so much in their running careers, and have raised a very respectable amount of money for charity, they are both so very kind and supportive and a credit to the Running and Ultra Running Community.
