Bio
Anna McNuff is an adventurer, bestselling author and self-confessed mischief maker. Named by The Guardian as one of the top female adventurers of our time, Condé Nast Traveller included her in a list of the 50 most influential travellers in the world, alongside Sheryl Sandberg and Sir Richard Branson. She is the UK ambassador for Girlguiding and has run, swum and cycled over 20,000 miles across the globe.
Her major journeys include cycling a bicycle 11,000 miles through each and every state of the USA, running the length of New Zealand and leading a two-woman team on a 5,500 mile cycle along the spine of The Andes mountains in South America.
Anna is best known for her most recent challenge however - an attempt to run 2,620 miles (100 marathons) through Great Britain…in bare feet. Along the way, she delivered motivational talks to over 1,700 young women – encouraging them to be brave and reach for the impossible. It was a story that reached over 100 million people through national and international media and was without a doubt the toughest and yet most amazing adventure of her life.
Anna is also an acclaimed author. She has published five books about her adventures and in 2020 won the Amazon Storyteller Literary Award.
Anna's high energy talks are life lessons from the road, told with raw honesty, humour and passion. Anna has learnt a great deal about personal limits in the past 15 years. Her story offers a rare combination of experience as an elite athlete, part of a high-performing team and of solo, self-driven challenges. She advocates a willingness to embrace the many obstacles that litter the road to success, and to view each one as an opportunity to learn and to grow. A firm believer of the ability to ‘choose your attitude’, she uses powerful real life examples to help organisations transform project road blocks into opportunities to move in new directions. Above all, Anna has a genuine belief in the limitless potential of every individual. She helps audience members to understand and value their individual contribution to the team, and to find the confidence to push the boundaries of their capability.

“An incredibly talented speaker - full of guts, energy, determination, stamina and vision. You told your story with great humour and placed us right in the heart of the action”
Sky TV
"Anna’s ability to instill a sense of self-belief in those watching her speak is second to none. Despite her own achievements – she very much made the talk at our team away day about us instead. Honest, relatable and wonderfully down to earth.”
Adobe, Annual Strategy Summit
“The team found Anna’s virtual talk so inspiring! The feedback from those who were in the ‘room’ was immediate, and overwhelmingly positive.”
