Adventurer
Scott Jurek, named one of the greatest runners of all time, has ascended to the status of a living legend. His incredible achievements in ultrarunning have solidified his place in history.
He has emerged victorious in almost all of ultrarunning's prestigious trail and road events, including the monumental 153-mile Spartathlon, the grueling Hardrock 100, the punishing Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and his most celebrated race, the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he remarkably won an unprecedented seven consecutive times.
In addition to these remarkable accomplishments, Scott has left an indelible mark on the running world with his astounding 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record. Covering nearly 50 miles each day over a span of 46 days, he showcased his unparalleled endurance.
Furthermore, he holds the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run, covering a staggering 165.7 miles – equivalent to completing 6.5 marathons in a single day.
Beyond his extraordinary athletic feats, Scott is a devoted advocate for vegetarianism. He adheres to a 100 percent plant-based diet, attributing it to his enduring stamina, swift recovery, and sustained success throughout his remarkable twenty-year racing career.
With unwavering belief, he asserts that anyone can run an ultra and tap into their body's innate ability to heal. Through his writing, public speaking, and consulting, Scott derives great satisfaction from motivating individuals of all fitness levels to take the next step towards vibrant health.
So, if you find yourself seeking a way to conquer physical or mental barriers, join forces with Scott and prepare to unleash the exhilarating sensation of boundless joy.
Booking Scott as a speaker will inspire your team or business with the extraordinary story of how discipline, dedication, and a plant-based lifestyle can lead to unparalleled success. His firsthand experiences in overcoming extreme challenges and setting world records demonstrate powerful lessons in resilience, goal-setting, and achieving what seems impossible. Let Scott's journey motivate your group to push beyond their limits, fostering a culture of perseverance, health, and peak performance.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
