Mimmi Kotka

Mimmi Kotka, born 12 July 1981, is a Swedish athlete who specialized in ultrarunning. She took up trail running in 2010 after signing up for the Lidingoloppet as a challenge, and went all in on focused training in January 2014. Her major claim to fame is winning the 101 km Ultra-Trail Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix in 2016 by almost half an hour, and the 121 km Ultra-Trail Sur les Traces des Ducs de Savoie at the same event in 2017 by almost two and a half hours, improving the previous course record by 46 minutes. She suffered from relative energy deficiency in sport for some years and returned to normal form in early 2021. She lives in Are, Sweden, works as a nutritionist, and started the Moonvalley online shop in 2018 with Ida Nilsson and Emelie Forsberg.
