Ursula

Botha

south africa

Ursula has been dedicated to endurance events for most of her adult life. She has successfully completed seven full Ironman distance events, including iconic races such as Challenge Roth and Kona, and about 14 half Ironman distance events. In 2015, she achieved a major milestone by finishing the 6 Major Marathons, completing the Boston Marathon as her final race in the series. That same year, she ran the Sydney Marathon, marking five of the seven continents completed. Life circumstances and the COVID pandemic put her 7 Continents goal on hold. However, the opportunity to participate in an event departing from Cape Town has reignited this dream, especially as a South African. Ursula plans to celebrate her birthday next year by running the Machu Picchu Marathon to finally complete her goal of running on all seven continents. Once she completes this challenge, she will proudly say, "5 Degrees, 6 Major Marathons, and 7 Continents."
