CALIFORNIA TRAVERSE PROJECT ... For California Fire Victims

Running for a Greater Purpose – 640 Miles, 4 Days, 1 Mission
Dates: May 1st (Thursday) – May 4th (Sunday)
San Diego to San Francisco | Benefiting the CALIFORNIA STRONG FOUNDATION

We are a team of six athletes—four men and two women—from around the world, united by a single mission: to complete a 640-mile nonstop relay from San Diego to San Francisco, beginning Thursday, May 1st in Solana Beach and ending Sunday, May 4th beneath the Golden Gate Bridge in the Marina District.

This isn’t about medals—it’s about purpose. We're running to raise awareness and funds for the California Strong Foundation, supporting first responders, their families, and communities affected by California’s devastating wildfires.

This challenge is a powerful test of endurance—physically and mentally—representing resilience, unity, and the strength that comes from deep commitment. It’s a reminder that with the right mindset and cause, we are capable of more than we ever imagined.

To share this journey and inspire others, we’re producing a documentary and need your support. Our goal is to raise $16,300:

$13,300 for film production

$3,000 for essentials (RV, gas, food)
Any remaining funds will be 100% donated to the California Strong Foundation.

The idea was born when William Stull and Cole Mueller met during an ultramarathon in San Diego. What started as a shared passion has become a mission for something much bigger—for California, for hope, and for change.
