Chelsea Creak
Chelsea is a British trail runner specialising in races from the Golden Trail Series. She’s also an accomplished cross-country runner.
Always into sports, Chelsea is a horseback rider and also rowed competitively at the University of Bristol. It was not until she moved to the South of France for two years that she started to get into trail running, spending much of her time in the Pyrenees. She now lives in the South West of England, where she trains on the Mendip hills and in South Wales, often with her dog Brecon.
Chelsea represented the UK and Ireland at the World Skyrunning Championships in 2022. In 2023, she won the women’s Golden Trail National Series UK & Netherlands, qualifying for the World Series Final in Italy. In 2024, Chelsea competed in the Golden Trail World Series and secured 30th place.
