In the 6633 Ultra race, the challenge will be more testing than anything Lowri has experienced in the past. This time, she faces a distance of 350 miles over eight days and will be completely self-sufficient. This race is among the hardest on the planet. Only five people have finished the race since the first one in 2007 and a woman holds the current record.
During her Arctic challenge, Lowri will battle against temperatures of around -30˚C to -40˚C. In recent years, temperatures have even plummeted to a teeth-chattering -93˚C. In a bid to acclimatise to the conditions, Lowri's trained intensively over the past twelve months. She runs distances of over 140 miles per week and has experienced the freezing temperatures of Sweden.
Lowri says, "Despite all the bad things that could happen, I'm really looking forward to getting started. The 6633 Ultra has played a big part in my life over the past year and I long to hear the sound of the whistle on the starting line."
