Amy Yates

Profession:

Extreme Athlete, Wellness Coach, Yoga Instructor

Hi, I’m Amy. I’m an ultramarathoner, trail runner, and mountain athlete with a love for pushing limits in some of the world’s most incredible landscapes. I’ve run ultras across Mexico, England, and Guatemala and climbed peaks like Pico de Orizaba. Whether you’re gearing up for your first endurance event, planning a long-distance trail run, or just looking to balance adventure with recovery, I’m happy to share my experience.

For me, the outdoors is about movement, challenge, and mental clarity.

I grew up in Yorkshire, where I spent my childhood running through the countryside, hiking with my grandad, and learning to appreciate the quiet power of nature. As I traveled, I realized that no matter where I was in the world, the mountains, forests, and trails always felt like home. Running, climbing, and pushing myself physically became not just a passion, but a way of life.


My Favorite Adventures:

🏃 Running 100 Miles Through the North Yorkshire Moors – No better way to experience home than by running every inch of it, British weather and all.

⛰️ Summiting Pico de Orizaba – The highest peak in Mexico, where the altitude humbled me, but the summit made it all worth it.

🥾 Trail Running Valle de Bravo – Racing “The Fastest Mile” and pushing through rugged high-altitude trails surrounded by stunning landscapes.

Expertise & Interests:

🌍 Ultramarathon Training & Prep – I’ve learned a lot through my own experience and can help you plan your training, gear, and mindset for long-distance races.

🏔️ Trail Running & Endurance Sports – From multi-day trail races to high-altitude mountain running, I can help you find the best routes for your goals.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Recovery for Athletes – As a yoga practitioner, I’m a big believer in balancing intense training with recovery and injury prevention.

🚀 First-Time Adventurers & Extreme Athletes – Whether you’re starting your endurance journey or pushing for the next big challenge, I get the mindset—and how to keep it strong.

Professional Guide

Hi, I’m Cameron! For me, the best way to connect with a place is to move through it—whether that’s hiking, cycling, or even a long city walk that turns into an adventure of its own. I’ve been guiding and exploring for over a decade, and my favorite trips always come down to the same thing: finding the perfect balance between effort and awe.

I connect to new places through the outdoors—whether it’s hiking a national park, cycling the countryside, or just walking through a city. With years of experience exploring and guiding across New Zealand, Croatia, the U.S., and beyond, I love helping people plan active adventures that go beyond the usual routes. If you’re heading to New Zealand’s South Island, the Dalmatian Coast, or iconic U.S. national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite, I’ve got you covered.


My Favorite Adventures

🏕️ New Zealand’s Hut-to-Hut Hikes – Sleeping in remote mountain huts under a sky full of stars, with nothing but the sound of the wind and a good trail ahead. Pure magic.

🚴‍♂️ Cycling Through Croatia – Climbing quiet coastal roads with views of the Adriatic and stopping in small villages for fresh seafood and local wine—what’s not to love?

🎒 Yellowstone & Grand Teton Backcountry – Some of the most epic landscapes I’ve ever experienced. Wildlife sightings, dramatic peaks, and trails where you feel completely immersed in nature.

Whether you’re looking for the best routes, need help with logistics, or just want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your trip, I’d love to help you plan. Let’s chat!
