Pamela Muston

Ultramarathon runner

2025 ACT Local Hero Nominee

It wasn’t until Pamela (Pam) Muston was approaching 50 that she decided to run her first ultra marathon. Over a decade on, her track record for distance running is truly awe inspiring.  

Pam has completed countless marathons and ultramarathons, including the Sri Chinmoy Canberra 100 Trail and Glasshouse Mountains 100 miler (the only female to have won for three consecutive years). She’s taken on and won both the Great Ultra Mediocre Backyarder and the Coast to Kosciusko Ultramarathon.  

Pam is also the coordinator of the Kowen Trail Run which takes place twice a year. She’s transformed it into a high-profile fundraising event to benefit the local rural fire brigade in Wamboin, on the ACT border.  

At 64, Pam’s enthusiasm and encouragement are a positive force in her community, inspiring and motivating women to take up or persevere with distance running. She is unmatched in her athletic endurance, dedication and generosity to others.
