Sarah Webster Celebrated in Runner’s World Following World Championship Glory
Lewes AC member Sarah Webster’s extraordinary rise to the summit of ultra-distance running has not only brought global recognition to her achievements but has also been profiled by Runner’s World. A fitting tribute to a truly historic season.
Sarah made history by setting new Women’s European and World 24-hour records at the IAU 24-Hour World Championships in Albi, France, in October 2025. In doing so, she became the first athlete from Lewes Athletic Club ever to be crowned World Champion.
Balancing her elite athletic career alongside a professional background in veterinary medicine, Sarah is coached by Dave Leach, Lewes AC’s long-standing Endurance Coach. Her success reflects years of dedication, expert guidance, and the strength of the club’s endurance programme.
