Emily Grace Collinge (born 27 February 1988) is a British runner who has won the European Mountain Running Championships and finished second in the World Mountain Running Championships.
Collinge represented England as a junior in cross country.[1] After a period of reduced participation in the sport whilst at university, she began running more again whilst living in northern Sweden and exploring the wild landscape on foot.[2]
She took part in the Drei Zinnen Alpine Run in 2013, finishing third.[3] She continued to race on various surfaces, her wins in 2014 including the Clowne Half Marathon on the roads[4] and the Red Bull Steeplechase over 21 miles of hilly trails.[5]
In 2015, Collinge won the individual silver medal at the World Mountain Running Championships which were held in Betws-y-Coed in the UK. She also won a team gold along with Emma Clayton and Sarah Tunstall.[6]
The next year, Collinge won the European Mountain Running Championships in Arco in Italy.[7]
Uphill races have provided Collinge with many victories, including the Transvulcania Vertical Kilometer[8] and the Snowdon Super Cup. In the latter, she made the fastest ever ascent of Snowdon by a woman with a time of 46:55.[9]
In 2018, she finished in 7th place at the 2018 World Mountain Running Championships held in Andorra.[10]
