Episode 74 - Sarah Kenny, Founder and Director, Gladiator Events - a podcast by Mass Participation World

On today's edition of The Aid Station we head to Ashdown Forest in England to meet Sarah Kenny, Founder and Director at Gladiator Events.

A wonderful story of yet another person in the industry who is working their passion and also an insight into one of the many thousands of small teams that create such an impact on the lives of so many people.

Listen to Sarah's story of following her dream of getting into events by sending out over 200 letters which led to three interviews and a job in corporate events. Despite amazing opportunities of traveling in style to amazing locations something was missing.

Her calling was answered when she got a role working on army style boot camps and ultimately broke away to set up Gladiator Events with a focus on delivering bespoke obstacle races for charities which includes the Muddy Dog Challenge for owners and their dogs.

Her team of two full time staff and a number of interns deliver 20 events in a normal year. This year is obviously not normal and Sarah expects the pause between her last event and the next one will likely stretch to 20 months. The inspiration from participants and volunteers are helping to make the wait bearable.
