Lill Maria Kotka, called Mimmi Kotka, born July 12, 1981, is a Swedish athlete specialized in ultrarunning.[1] Her major claim to fame is winning the 101 km Ultra-Trail Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix (CCC) in Chamonix, France, in 2016 by a margin of almost half an hour.[2] Kotka is a member of the Swedish National Team in ultratrail. She participated in the 2015 IAU Trail World Championships, placing 8th.[3] For a living she works as a nutritionist.

Running career

In a 2016 interview Kotka talked about her running background: "I have always loved outdoor life and kept active with skiing, biking, hiking, diving, yoga but not running. But in 2010 I signed up to run Lidingöloppet as a challenge and got obsessed with trail running while practicing for it. That was my thing! Then I took it easy in 2012, 2013 and in January 2014 I decided to go all in. Train more focused. It was a little too focused in 2015. I ran a lot and got injured. In 2016 I took it easier and now I seem to have found a formula that works. It is more fun than ever to run and my body thrives."[4]
