Simon Booth (runner)

Freitag, 10. Mai 1968

Simon Booth (born 10 May 1968) is an English runner who was twice the British fell running champion and who has represented his country at the World Mountain Running Trophy. As a youngster, Booth’s preferred sports were rugby and football. However, an early indication of his running ability was his performance at the Cumbria Marathon from Cockermouth in 1982 when he was the first junior to finish at the age of fourteen and beat his father Bill Booth. Injuries ended Simon’s focus on rugby and after finishing second in the Borrowdale Fell Race in 1989, his attention turned to fell running.
