Sarah Kim Bonner

I'm a long distance triathlete from a small, rural town in Canada. I didn't do any sports growing up but I started cycling with my dad when I was home from university. Six years later, I did my first triathlon, qualified for age group world champs at my first 70.3, and earned my pro license a year later.

​

In my third season racing pro, I was hit by a car while riding my bike. It took six years, two major surgeries, and an army of help across 3 counties to get healthy. Between surgeries, I kept training and racing when I could but 2024 marks a new chapter. 

My goal to qualify for the 70.3 world championships has never changed but my perspective has and there is a lot more joy, gratitude, and a hell of a lot more fire in me since my accident.

​

I work as a freelance writer, graphic designer, sports model, and production assistant.

​

I love baking, being outside, and I have a soft spot for animals, the mountains, and doughnuts. I've lived all over Canada (including the arctic), California, France, South Africa, Australia, Namibia, the Netherlands, England, and Spain. Now I call the Canary Islands home.

​

I have an MA in Literature and Modernity, BA Hons in Mass Communication, Literature and Women's Studies, and a PGDip in Sports Management.
