50KM. 3 COUNTRIES. 1 PURPOSE.
On 12 September, They'll take on the Mont aux Sources 50km Ultra Trail — their first ultra marathon, reaching altitudes of around 3,000m in the breathtaking Drakensberg Mountains: https://www.montauxsourcesultratrail.co.za/
🇲🇺 Jean-Paul — Mauritius
🇨🇭 Dario — Switzerland
🇿🇦 Drakensberg Mountains — South Africa
They're not professional athletes. Just two colleagues-friends with full-time jobs, busy lives and their own doubts & challenges… who apparently looked at one of South Africa's toughest ultra trails and thought: “Yeah, why not?”
But this isn't only about running 50km — with all its physical ups & downs. It's about people facing their own invisible mountains every day — mental health challenges, loneliness and difficult moments.
So they're using their challenge to support our NGO helping people through those “real” moments.
