James Lawrence The Iron Cowboy

Known as the iron Cowboy because of the hat he wears running races so his kids can see him coming at distance, James Lawrence is an ultra endurance athlete who has pushed himself beyond what many doctors believed was physiologically possible.

In doing so he has redefined both mental and physical endurance limits.

From a high school wrestler to a decade in the finance industry whereupon the 2008 crash saw him loose everything.

His athletic career began with a struggle to complete a 4 mile fun run. That shock still inspires him today.

Now, James is one of the most dynamic, inspiring, larger than life keynote speakers in the world, having shared his story in over 50 countries, whilst reaching millions of people.

He continues to redefine the possible in his own life and inspiring audiences they can do the same.
