Lizzie Hermolle
Lizzie's relationship with OGT was never going to be a typical sponsorship, mostly because Lizzie has never been a typical athlete. She spent her childhood and twenties as a competitive footballer in Blackpool before switching to cycling in her mid-twenties, and within eighteen months she was racing at UCI Continental level, taking on professionals at races like the Tour de Suisse.
11 Hours. 65 Laps. 8,848m of Gravel Climbing.
Lizzie etched her name into the endurance history books when she shattered the Women’s Off Road Everesting World Record by nearly two hours. She scaled the full height of Mount Everest in just 11 hours and 5 minutes, taking on 65 relentless laps of a frozen incline right in her home county of Derbyshire.
Why OGT Rules the Trail
Lizzie thrives on the deep mental and physical grit required for ultra distance gravel events and mountain challenges. When you are out on the trail for eleven hours straight, fuel is everything. Lizzie relies on One Good Thing to keep her energy steady when traditional gels and sugary chews fail. During her world record attempt in sub zero temperatures, she used OGT bars to get clean, natural carbs without fumbling with frozen plastic wrappers or suffering from stomach distress.
Exploring Further, Leaving No Trace
Off the bike, Lizzie is a true outdoor adventurer, creative route finder, and passionate advocate for leave no trace riding across the British countryside. With OGT in her pocket, Lizzie is moving further and faster with better, cleaner fuel.
