'The greater the challenge, the sweeter the reward, but also the
greater the risk of failure. And fear of failure is the greatest
barrier to success.' Sabrina Verjee is an ultrarunning phenomenon.
In June 2021, on her fourth attempt, she became the first person to
climb the Lake District's 214 Wainwright hills in under six days,
running 325 miles with a colossal 36,000 metres of ascent. Where
There's a Hill tells the story of an outsider who was never picked
for a school sports team yet went on to become an accomplished
modern pentathlete and adventure racer. After switching her focus
to ultrarunning in her thirties, Sabrina moved to the Lake
District, where she could hone her mountain-running skills on the
local fells. High-profile success in endurance events followed, as
she completed the Dragon's Back Race three times and was the
outright winner of the 2019 Summer Spine Race, beating her nearest
competitor by more than eight hours. However, it was the
Wainwrights Round which really captured Sabrina's imagination.
Having learnt about the challenge from fell-running legend Steve
Birkinshaw, Sabrina began to plan an attempt of her own. Despite
multiple obstacles - including lockdown regulations, bad weather,
injury and controversy - Sabrina's grit and determination shone
through. Where There's a Hill is a frank and inspirational account
of how one woman ran her way into the record books.
