Ramsay’s adventurous spirit extends to trekking 1939km in various hiking adventures, including an 800km section of Utah’s Hayduke Trail in 2019. He has also successfully summitted multiple mountains over 5000m, such as Aconcagua (6962m) and Chimborazo (6268m). His remarkable endurance and commitment have earned him significant industry recognition, including the prestigious Scottish Adventurer of the Year and Physical Endeavour awards at the National Adventure Awards in 2016. Beyond his athletic achievements, Jamie Ramsay is an established public speaker, presenter, and author of the acclaimed book ‘Running the Americas.’ He has leveraged his unique experiences to inspire and collaborate with a range of global and UK brands, including Microsoft, Land Rover Mobile, Gore Wear, Cotswold Outdoor, and Whole Earth.
