Clay Williams is a 60 year old ultra runner who started running "to get in shape" when he was in his mid forties. He's the creator of the Canal Pursuit for Mental Health, a 785 km run along the Rideau and Trent Severn Canals and owns two FKTs related to that run, and co-founder of the Monarch Ultra Relay run, a 4326 km run from Peterborough Ontario to Macheros Mexico following the migration path of Monarch butterflies. He's an avid mental health advocate, Stars Wars fan and Harley rider.
