Help a Rising Trail Runner Take on a 100K Ultra-Trail .

In July, thanks to your incredible support, Saba crossed the finish line of the Uludağ Premium Ultra Trail with an amazing 4th place overall in her category.

This wasn’t just a strong result — it was proof of her dedication, talent, and the countless hours she spends training on mountains, trails, and city streets. From her 3rd place finish in the 66K UPA race in 2023, to her recent success in Turkey, Saba has shown she can compete with some of the best trail runners in the region.

The Next Challenge: Kaçkar Ultra-Trail 100K

This September, Saba will face her most demanding race yet: the Kaçkar Ultra-Trail 100K — part of the UTMB® World Series.

The course is high-altitude, remote, and brutally beautiful, winding through the Kaçkar Mountains in northeastern Turkey. Completing it will keep her ITRA ranking active — a crucial step toward qualifying for world-class races like UTMB in Chamonix.

Why She Needs Our Help

Like many athletes from her home country, Saba has no sponsorships or federation support. Travel costs, race fees, and basic needs for training and competition all come out of her own pocket.

For this race, she needs to raise $2,000 to cover:

• ✈️ Travel to northeastern Turkey

• Accommodation during the event

• Race entry fee for the 100K category
