Shankill Woman, Tracey Atkinson’s Talk:
“Diary of a Mum on the Run”

12 Races. 12 Months. 12 Countries. One woman’s unstoppable journey to reclaim her life.

After brain surgery, fear, setbacks, and the chaos of midlife, Tracey Atkinson refused to let life shrink her. Instead, she laced up her trainers and set out on a year long mission:12 races in 12 months across 12 countries all in support of a charity close to her heart.
What followed was a whirlwind adventure across Europe and beyond, early mornings, airports, heatwaves, snow, injuries, PBs, podium finishes, glow stick Rave Runs, and the rediscovery of a strength she never knew she had.
