Peak Bagging Wainwrights - with Author of Where There’s a Hill Sabrina Verjee

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Inspiring Adventure Podcast by Vertebrate Publishing, we are joined by Sabrina Verjee, ultrarunner, adventurer, and author of Where There's a Hill. Best known for her record-breaking completion of the Wainwrights round, Sabrina discusses her journey from adventure racing to ultrarunning, the planning and execution of her challenges, and the importance of confidence and resilience in the face of failure. She shares insights on the camaraderie within the running community, the role of Peak Bagging, and her life in the Lake District. Sabrina also hints at upcoming projects, including a new book focusing on philosophical questions related to running and personal growth.

Sabrina Verjee lives in the Lake District, where she spends a lot of time running in the fells she loves. She has a background in adventure racing and modern pentathlon but is best known as an ultrarunner. She set a female record for the Pennine Way in 2020, was the overall winner of the 2019 Summer Spine Race, and has finished the ultra-endurance Dragon’s Back Race three times. Fuelled by a love of cake and supported by her husband Ben and a team of fell-running friends, Sabrina made four attempts on the 214-peak Wainwrights Round, and in June 2021 became the first person to complete it in less than six days. She runs her own independent, small-animal veterinary practice in Lancashire, which provides twenty-four-hour care to emergency patients. Where There’s a Hill is her first book.
