Natasha Sekulic is an overachiever. A young, ambitious Australian woman who is mild mannered lawyer by day an adventure seeking, limit pushing, kick ass ultrarunner by night. 
 
Having no athletic background at all, she decided to run a half marathon to deal with the grief from a bad break up. Shortly after that, she was diagnosed with bipolar. In 2013, she took the plunge and entered the Big Red Run, a 250km multistage race across the Simpson Desert. From that day forward, she has used ultra running to help manage her depression and has chosen to be defined by possibilities rather than labels or limitations.

She has run over twenty ultramarathons including three 250km multistage events (the Big Red Run, the Atacama Crossing, and the Patagonia roving race). She has also run two 100 milers - the Zion 100 and the Hubert 100.

Natashas journey has not been as easy one but it has been an empowering one. Find out why she thinks multi day stage racing is the ultimate sport not only for the athletic challenge but for how it can change and impact your psyche, your self imposed limitations and your possibilities and why the comradeship found out there on the trails and deserts is so valuable to her
