About this campaign

Sponsoring Sam helps cover entry, travel and gear for Coastal Trail Ultra. Every sponsor gets their name on this page.

Why I'm doing this

Every early alarm is a promise I keep to myself. Race day is the receipt.

My story

Balancing a full-time job, family and training means every dollar and every hour is planned. Sponsors don't just cover costs, they make me accountable. Every name on this page is someone I think about when it gets hard late in a race.
