World Leading Ultra Runner | Tom Evans | Episode 10
Tom Evans made his mark on the ultrarunning world in 2017, when he came third in the 251km desert ultra Marathon des Sables.
Despite entering on the back of a bet with a friend, having won the first ultra he entered, the 2016 Beacons Ultra, his third-place finish was the best result any European had ever achieved in the history of the race.
Tom astounded once again in 2018 when he won the 101km CCC race at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). It was the pinnacle of an incredibly successful racing year, which also saw him take the top spot – and break course records – at the Coastal Challenge Costa Rica and the South Downs Way 50.
A British Army Captain, Tom was little known to the ultrarunning world until 2017 but is now one of the world's leading ultra-athletes.
At the end of this episode, Tom springs a surprise by announcing his biggest goal for 2021.
