Speaker
In 2016, Jenny Tough set out to run solo and unsupported across the Tien Shan Mountains in Kyrgyzstan, a journey of nearly 1,000km. Her successful completion marked a world-first expedition and sparked a project to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent. In the Fall of 2021 in the Transylvanian Alps, Jenny completed her project, which included three world-first traverses and over 4,000km of mountain running. The VIMFF will be the first live audience to hear about her project since its final segment.
