Paul Maskell

About

Paul Maskell is a Cornish ultrarunner and NHS paramedic based in Cornwall, England, who balances a demanding emergency services career with elite-level competition across point-to-point trail hundreds and the 24-hour format. He won the Arc of Attrition — Cornwall's iconic 100-mile coastal race — in 2017 (21:25:01), and won the South Downs Way 100 in a sprint finish after nearly 100 miles on tired legs. He represented Great Britain at the IAU 24-Hour World Championships, covering 156 miles (251km), having qualified at the Tooting Bec Transcend 24-hour track race. One of the UK's most capable and quietly consistent long-distance performers, he has built a competitive career around the demands of full-time NHS shift work.
