Jamie Ramsay

Jamie Ramsay is a British long distance runner, who ran from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 600 days.

Personal life Ramsay was born in Scotland and resides in London.

Vancouver to Buenos Aires When Ramsay realised that he was unfulfilled in his desk job, he decided to undertake the challenge of running from Vancouver to Buenos Aires. His motivation was a desire to live life on his own terms: running was already his passion, and it would enable him to do something physically demanding while gaining a particular perspective from travelling on foot.

The run required little planning. Ramsay already had a good level of fitness, having already completed a few marathons; all he needed was the right equipment. and reaching his destination just in time for New Year's Eve 2015. He raised money for CALM, Water Aid and Macmillan.

Awards In the National Adventure Awards of 2016, Ramsay won the Scottish Adventurer of the Year, and Physical Endeavour awards.
