Hi I'm Carla

I'm a record breaking professional ultra runner proudly representing HOKA. I'm also the founder of SCY for Runners, an online membership platform designed for runners to reach new heights whilst fostering a tight-knit community.

Alongside my own running goals, I'm on a mission to build a community of runners who achieve their goals, get injured less, and share their runner's high with their communities.

World champion & Pro Athlete

I've been running since I was at school and had a 10 year triathlon career. In 2014, I did the Glasgow Half Marathon and that's when I really caught the bug.

Over the next few years I did a lot of multi day runs across other countries as well as across and around islands. In 2020 after running the length of the UK, I got a running contract with HOKA. I already had grit and determination, but this contract brought me discipline.
