Inspirational Ripon businesswoman completes all six world marathon majors in just four years

Becky Naylor is one of just 755 women in the United Kingdom and 8182 women worldwide to have achieved this milestone, which involves running the London, Boston, Chicago, Berlin, Tokyo, and New York marathons.

Becky completed her final race in New York this month, securing the coveted Six Star Medal.

Her four year marathon journey began in 2021 with a charity place for Muscular Dystrophy UK at the London Marathon, where she unexpectedly earned a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon.

From there, she ran Boston in 2022, Chicago in 2023 just days after recovering from Coronavirus, Berlin in 2024 with a personal best of 3.29 for the Alzheimer’s Society, Tokyo in 2025 for Japanese charity Florence, and finally New York in 2025.

Throughout the Six Majors, Becky has raised £8,000 for charity.

She has also done this while continuing to lead her business full-time as the founder and director of Ripon-based digital marketing agency Bronco.

Becky said: “This journey has been about discipline, planning, and resilience, qualities I live by in business as much as I do in fitness.

“Balancing marathon training with running Bronco has been tough, but I’ve always believed that personal goals and professional success can strengthen each other.

"I’m proud to have completed the Six Stars and to show that with the right focus, anything is possible.”

Under Becky’s leadership, Bronco has thrived for over two decades, known for its forward thinking, collaborative culture and trusted client relationships.

Her Six Star achievement reflects the same consistency and determination that has grown the company from local roots into a highly respected name in digital marketing.

Alongside her marathons, Becky has also qualified twice for the HYROX World Championships and enjoys trail running across Yorkshire, proving that her passion for endurance extends far beyond the road.
