Join The Bali Hope Ultra

The overnight double marathon takes runners coast-to-coast across the island.
Team members join for 7 extraordinary days on the island creating a unique sense of connection among
the group.
Participants commit to raising funds that go towards our award-winning impact partner, benefiting children and families in some of the most disadvantaged commmunities on the island. The race also provides an opportunity for runners to immerse themselves in Bali's stunning landscapes and culture while contributing to a cause that has a lasting impact on the island.
