Epic global run
Circumpolar Race Around the World

The Journey of a Lifetime

A 30,167-mile circumnavigation of the real Earth. Together, we did it.

The Horizon Reached

In 2021, we set out on a mission to look at our planet in a whole new way; laying the classic globe on its side to trace a path that made the Earth feel like a home without ends. As Gary "Laz" Cantrell famously said, “Truth is, our planet is a ball from every direction,” and over the last four years, we proved that together.

From the heat of Latin American trails to the silence of the Antarctic interior, we didn't just see the world—we followed ourselves around it. To the 55,000 registrants who logged every mile, crossed every desert, and conquered mountain ranges they’d never heard of: Thank you.

You didn't just run a race; you became part of the magnitude of the Earth.
