YES WE ARE DOING AGAIN!

In 2026 we are going back to Malaysia to try and break my Guinness World Record of Fastest Crossing of Peninsula Malaysia on foot which stands at 8 days and 46 minutes. The goal... 7 days! This means running 105km a day with the clock ticking.

All money raised goes to local children in need. Our charity this year is Cahaya Surya Bakti (csb). CSB envisions a compassionate and inclusive society where refugees in Johor are empowered to lead dignified and resilient lives through equitable access to education, protection, and support. And we are excited that the children will join us along the route on the final day.

Background

Hi, I'm Natalie Dau (@Rockstararms) and from May 25th - June 5th 2024 I ran 1,000kms, across 3 countries (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) equaling 2 marathons back-to-back every day over 12 days. Doing this I set a Guinness World Record, but it was about so much more than a record.

In the process I raised money in support of empowering women and girls around body image and physical movement, and made school visits along my route to give out scholarships to children in need.

Then in April 21, 2025 I decided to do it all again, this time in the Philippines. Same 1,000km goal, same 12 days but a whole new set of challenges. Starting from the top of the Philippines at San Vincente, down the west coast and ending in Manilla. The cause remained the same - to raise funds for children to give them access to sport and education.

Our past beneficiaries include Sisters of Mary, The Bayani Scholars program, and Alon and Araw.

At 53 years old, I aim to demonstrate the power of ambition, empowerment and movement to unite people across cultures and communities, proving that age is no excuse not to follow your dreams and make a difference.
