(What is The Bob Graham round)
The Bob Graham Round is a fell running challenge in the English Lake District. It is named after Bob Graham (1889–1966), a Keswick guest-house owner, who in June 1932 broke the Lakeland Fell record by traversing 42 fells within a 24-hour period. Traversing the 42 fells, starting and finishing at Keswick Moot Hall, involves 66 miles (106 km) with 26,900 feet (8,200 m) of ascent.

As someone who has done the Bob Graham I'm always a little suspicious of people making films about their attempt. They never seem to capture the spirit of the day, or the sacrifices that the support crew make to help someone realise their this film did. Kristina comes across as a down to earth lass, who's truly humbled that virtual strangers have come out to support her on the 5 different legs. And that's what's so special about The Bob Graham, the ethos of helping people realise their dreams. A great film!

She's one tough cookie & I love the way she says Bop Gray Ham, very endearing. Go girl.

Kristina you looks so young, beautiful and brave. Keep it up...

I’ve been binge watching Bob Graham rounds and after 3-4 this week I stumbled onto yours. This is my favourite so far. Loved your spirit and the huge smile you had on your face for most of the round.

Completely agree, one can become a great runner without being genetically gifted for it. But it takes a drive, consistency, dedication and more than anything a love for the process as much as the races.

Congrats to all the pacers and crew here too. Great to see them getting their dues here.

What an amazing woman! Need to lace up my ahoes n get back out there. Love how she was like I wish I knew more English to better explain and then calls the really steep hill a bastard hill 👏👏👏

[AbdulMatinLittle]

Very inspiring, not just Kristina's story but also all those amazing people that helped out just for the love of the challenge and the community. Pretty much how we should approach all aspects of our lives.

[mickyhansen]

Kristina du er for sej. Godt gaaet. Great Doc, always enjoy to see a danish runner.

[marky]

[kevindecoteau]

Really like this. She has great knowledge of herself and looks deeper.

[JackKinross]

Fantastic video. Trail running, mountain running, fell running, call it what you like, it's more than a sport, it's a way of connecting to nature which is pure. Well done everyone involved in this film.

I spent (longer than I care to admit) searching for a female Bob vid. I absolutely loved this, and the way it captures so much of what I love about the outdoors culture in the Lakes and elsewhere that I've had the pleasure to experience. You've really manage to articulate so much of what lies in the heart of all of us adventurers, and also highlighted something that's really difficult to capture in the wonderful sense of community that exists. Congrats, and I'm glad you love our beautiful Lake District!

What an extraordinary woman. Huge respect

That was truly a great inspiration.
I was a support crew on a few Bob Graham Round, back in 2006 - 2007 era, was an excellent experience.
