Scotty Hawker is a trail & ultramarathon runner from Christchurch, New Zealand. He currently spends 6 months of the year traveling throughout Europe with his wife and three-year-old daughter. They love exploring new countries and it provides Scotty with the opportunity to line up in some of the world's most competitive trail and ultramarathon events. In 2019 Scotty capped off a great season of racing with a 3rd place finish at the prestigious Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. After an incredibly challenging year in 2018 and nearly giving the sport away, it was a result that was hard fought and has left Scotty with a newfound confidence as he gets ready for the 2020 season. Scotty is also a coach, helping athletes from all over the world prepare for trail and ultramarathon distance races. Scotty loves being able to share his knowledge and experience in the sport of trail running with others and finds that coaching gives him balance in life alongside being an athlete.
