Jen Segger
Canadian Female Endurance Athlete

                                      

As one of Canada’s youngest female endurance athletes, Jen learned how to set goals at a very young age. Leaving traditional team sports led her to the discovery of adventure racing – a sport explored by few but where physical and mental challenges are pushed the absolute limits. Realizing that there was a demand for women in the sport, she quickly set her sights on becoming one of the top female athletes in the sport.

After years of hard work, embracing pain and breaking bank accounts, Jen eventually built the lifestyle that she had dreamed of – racing and adventuring around the globe, meeting incredible people and using her stories to inspire others to do the same.

Jen strives to be a role model for other females, young and old. She endeavors to show people that all goals are attainable when people belief in themselves and their capabilitites.  She encourages everyone to dream big while stressing the importance of commitment and dedication to the dream.  Failure is ok, laughter is the best medicine and above all else, "Life is for Living."

From the sands of the Sahara Desert to the jungles of Brazil and the frigid -40 temperatures of Canada’s North, Jen’s story of personal growth, inner drive and willingness to always push forward are explored.  In 2008, Jen became the youngest female in the world to take part in Kielh’s Badwater Ultramarathon – a 135mile non stop run across the blazing heats of Death Valley.  Not only did Jen complete the event, she finished in the top 10 overall.  Jen is currently racing for one of North America’s most elite adventure racing teams and is an ambassador of change for impossible2Possible.
