Overcome limits together as one - For the Invictus Games!

Hi, I am Kristjan! A marathon and Ultra-Marathon Runner!

Every year, on my birthday, the 15th of December, I have formed myself a tradition.

While many celebrate their birthdays with parties and alcohol, I approach it differently. Each year, I set out to challenge myself physically and mentally, creating a memory that stays with me forever. This year is no exception, and for my 26th birthday, I’ve decided to:

Run 26km every 4 hours for 26 hours. A total of 156km.

This year, there’s an added twist—I’ll be completing this challenge in Malaysia, facing intense heat and humidity. You might be wondering, “Why every 4 hours?” This schedule allows me to complete each 26km segment with enough time to focus on recovery, hydration, and nutrition.

Beyond being a humongous challenge, I will also be fundraising for the Invictus Games, an incredible international sporting event for wounded, injured, or sick servicemen and women. This event provides participants the chance to demonstrate life beyond disability, forming a strong foundation for those who continue to show they are just as capable as anyone else.

There is no obligation to donate, but every bit of support—whether financial or motivational—is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause!

I’ll be starting the challenge at 12:00 am (UTC + 8 ) on my birthday (15th December) and documenting the journey along the way: Follow me on kristjans_running_sagas !
