Introducing 'Trailing Around Asia'
Welcome to Trailing Around Asia! My name is Harriet Gaywood. This is my platform where I share all my updates about trail running and running ultra-marathons. You will find photos, instagram updates, published articles about running and can order my new book "Trailing Around Asia: Mud, Sweat & Bears" which was launched on January 2, 2025 on Amazon and Kindle.
From the mountains to the sea, exploring Asia through trail-running offers a unique way to see the region. I share my experiences of running ultra-marathons as an average runner who gets to her destination through perseverance.
I have run 4,750k of ITRA races with a total elevation of 230,000m. I am classified by ITRA as Advanced 4. In my age category I was ranked UK no. 4 for 100k (2025) and no. 2 for 100M (2025). I have been Top 10 in 24 races out of 51. In August 2025 I completed UTMB 175k in Chamonix, France.
