ABOUT UTA

From Marathoner to Entrepreneur, Speaker, Trainer

Uta was introduced to athletics at 13, became a professional runner at 17, and passed her final exams (Physikum) as a medical student at the Freie Universität in the unified Berlin in 1994. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she ran the Boston Marathon that stood for freedom in her mind, followed with three consecutive wins ’94, ‘95, ’96, the New York City and three Berlin Marathon victories, with the 1990 “Reunification Marathon.” She is a 2-time Olympian, former half marathon world record holder, ranked #1-woman marathon runner in the world ’94, ’95.

FROM UTA

A Life Beyond Running

 “I appreciate the importance to choose freedom of thought and movement in my speaking, running, yoga, and meditation programs. May they contribute to a healthier and more peaceful world. 

 

“Running To Freedom™” and “Take The Magic Step™ to lifelong Fitness” are paradigms I have created as a public speaker since 2008 to bring a light hearted and in depth perspective to share what I have learned and now understand might be beneficial for you.
