I Almost Quit in Paradise: My 29-Hour Ultra Running Battle on Gran Canaria!

How do you convince your family to let you run an ultra on a sun-kissed island? In this epic race vlog, join me at the Trans Gran Canaria Classic—an ultra marathon that blends challenging 126km terrain, steep climbs, and breathtaking views with the vibe of a family holiday. From the nerve-wracking start at midnight to battling cutoffs and overcoming an injured foot, I share every gritty detail of my race day experience in Gran Canaria, part of the World Trail Majors. Watch as I navigate technical descents, power through aid stations, and soak in the island’s beauty while racing against time.
