Books by Holly Zimmermann

Holly Zimmermann is an extreme sports athlete, from mountain and desert ultras, orienteering, endurance bike and expedition adventure races to running a marathon in the Arctic. In 2018, she was the first international female to finish the Mount Everest Marathon. With advanced degrees in engineering and business, Holly started her career in research and development for military applications, but upon moving to Germany with her Berlin-born husband, she gave up her technical pursuits and turned to sports and writing while raising their four children. One of her passions is motivating others to be active, and she encourages them by speaking at companies, sporting events, in women's groups, and at charities or by volunteering in schools where she trains kids to take part in local races. Her first book, Ultramarathon Mom: From the Sahara to the Arctic, was released in April 2018.
