Sorrell Walsh, 28, is on a mission to promote equality and female participation in running… and she is truly leading by example. From setting herself the mission of changing the male-tofemale ratio in ultra-running, to coaching and supporting schoolgirls, to deciding not to run the Boston Marathon until she achieved a male qualifying time, Sorrell lives and breathes her values.
