Meghan Hicks has run countless ultra marathons, while she seems to specialize in the really long adventures. Such as five top-ten finishes at the Marathon des Sables! More locally, she has great results on the iconic Nolan's 14 line.
"I played around on the Nolan's line for 2-3 years before I thought it was even possible to do it".
Then she set the Female FKT in 2016. Which Sabrina Stanley broke on August 10 this year. Which Meghan took back on September 5. Which Sabrina re-took on October 3. The ladies are getting after it!
