005. Lucy Bartholomew | You succeed when you try: behind the movie Running Out and Lucy's adventure on the Larapinta Trail

Lucy Bartholomew is an Australian ultrarunner sponsored by Salomon.

Though only 25 years old, she's had an incredible career, placing in some of the toughest ultra trails around the world and becoming one of the most popular athletes in the sport. It wasn't always perfect, it wasn't always easy, but Lucy learned to navigate the highs and lows of running (and life) in a very powerful and inspiring way: without hiding fears and doubts, but accepting them and ultimately turning them into strengths. She's developed her passion for running way beyond races and competition, chasing curiosity, empowering people and giving them the inspirations to get out and run on the trails, showing them that the real motivation often lies within themselves.

The idea of running The Larapinta Trail, a 231 km route from Mount Sonder to Alice Springs, going through some of the most remote and wild  landscapes of the Australian Outback, was born in the middle of a pandemic. Sharing much more than just the running aspect, the movie Running Out shines a light on going beyond limits, the value of community, and showcases some of the most beautiful landscapes of central Australia. Thanks Lucy for taking us through them!
