Sporting Witness - Pam Reed: Winning Ultramarathons in Death Valley
Download Pam Reed: Winning Ultramarathons in Death Valley
In 2002, a middle-aged mother made history by winning one of the toughest races in the world outright. Pam Reed beat all the elite men competing in the 135-mile Badwater marathon through the desert of Death Valley, California. After her victory was seen by some as a fluke, she responded by defeating all the male runners again the following year. Pam Reed talks to Lissa Cook.
