Fitzgerald. The list of accomplishments to her name is long, and
includes five Ironman triathlons, cycling across the country, a
325-mile river swim, running 100 miles nonstop in under 20 hours,
and a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean. When Katie arrived in
Guyana, South America, after 70 days at sea, she set a world
record for the youngest ever solo ocean rower and the only
American to row solo from Africa to South America. 


Katie became the 1st person to run 138-miles nonstop across Maine
in 33 hours, raising funds for a clean water project in Tanzania.
Most recently, Katie set a new Guinness World Record for the most
consecutive days to run an ultramarathon distance in Run4Water.
Her 341-mile journey began in Cincinnati and finished in
Cleveland, Ohio, after running 11 ultra-marathons for 11 days
consecutively to fund 11 water projects in Uganda.
