Victoria Stansfield

Victoria Stansfield (née Kenny) is a very experienced runner and triathlete, recently converted to the world of trails and ultra running.

She has done some form of endurance sports since she was 11, when she raced cross country at school and went for runs with her dad at the weekends. This led to excellent results as a junior, where she came 2nd in the English school championships in 2013. She then turned to triathlon, coming 2nd in the world at ITU Age Group World Championships on the Gold Coast. She was also unbeaten in Ironman 70.3 triathlons for the entire 2019 season.

Victoria’s marathon debut came in Seville in 2022, clocking an impressive 2:41:20. She subsequently won the Vienna Half Marathon and then faced her biggest challenge yet - becoming a mum to Margot Antonia in August 2023.

Daring herself to be braver, she went on to pace her running club team mates to a sub-3 hour marathon in December 2023, at just 4 months post partum. She’s now set her sights on ultras and is training for trail running adventures.

Victoria’s Favourite trails to run on

⛰ South West Coast Path - hills and the ocean are my happy places so having them together is perfection.

Best Trail Running Memory

🏃‍♀️ Running up the Swiss mountains to see the sunrise on New Year’s Day. Seeing the sun glow off the snow was just stunning and definitely worth the early start!
