Billy Monger: F3 Racing Driver, Double Amputee and Ironman World Record Holder

What does it take to turn tragedy into triumph?


This week on The Runna Podcast, we sit down with Billy Monger—a racing prodigy turned endurance athlete whose resilience has shattered expectations. At just 10 years old, Billy was a rising star in motorsport, winning the British Championship and competing in British F4. But in 2017, at just 17 years old, his life changed in an instant after a high-speed crash at Donington Park left him in a coma for three days and resulted in the amputation of both legs.


Rather than letting his story end there, Billy fought back, proving that no obstacle is too great to overcome and his mindset is admirable.


We spoke about:


🏁 The Road to Recovery – How Billy defied expectations and got back behind the wheel, securing a podium finish in British F3 less than a year post-accident.

🏆 Breaking Boundaries – Winning his first race post-accident in the EuroFormula Open and becoming a Channel 4 F1 pundit & Paralympic presenter.

🌊World Record Breaker – Conquering the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, breaking the double amputee record, and raising nearly £25,000 for Comic Relief.

🎥 Life Beyond Racing – Competing on Strictly Come Dancing, inspiring millions, and using his platform to push the boundaries of adaptive sport.

💪 How Billy’s mindset, adaptability, and support system have fuelled every challenge he’s faced.


🎧 Tune in as we explore Billy’s incredible comeback, his journey from the racetrack to Ironman, and what it truly means to never give up.
