Running for Bali: A Love Letter to the Island and Its People
Thursday 23rd JanHi Everyone! When I decided I wanted to do my first ultra, I knew I wanted it to be for something more—something that was more than my miles. Tom's years of commitment to uplifting the community through this small but mighty ultra deeply resonated with me. His passion in bringing these teams together over the past years truly inspired me so here I am joining the 2025 team and here we gooooo!
Bali, for many including myself, has been a haven - a place to find peace, inspiration, and connection. Its beauty is undeniable, but what truly makes it special to me are the people—their warmth, kindness, and generosity. They’ve opened their hearts and homes to countless visitors like me, and I would like to do what I can to say thank you.
Many children in Bali face challenges that can’t be seen from the surface of its stunning beaches & lush landscapes. That’s why I’m running this particular ultra-marathon—to support the kids of Bali and play my part to ensure they have more opportunities that they deserve.
Why I’m Running
Running has shaped my life. It grounds me, challenges me, and brings a big old smile to my face. This ultra isn’t just about crossing the finish line for me it’s my way of showing gratitude to an island that’s given me so much joy. Every mile I run is a step toward brighter futures for Bali’s children.
