WHAT IS OCEAN 2 EVEREST?
We are Míra, Pety, Kuba and Jára and we have decided to spend this years summer vacation a bit unusually. We want to accomplish a long-held dream - run an ultramarathon from the ocean all the way to the top of Mount Everest. We would like to complete this more than 1 000 km long journey with the total elevation of around 24 000 m during one of this years fall months.
OUR TEAM
KUBA
Kuba is the partner in crime. He loves sports, adventure, and new challenges. His genetic code began at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains. Maybe that’s exactly why the peaks keep calling him back.
MÍRA
Mírek from Vejrov, whose doctor recommended he avoid running 30 years ago. Instead he found his cure in running. Since then he has kept pushing his boundaries.
PETY
Pety is a carpenter from Hadačka. Together with Míra, he loves coming up with challenges that really make you sweat. Whether it's cycling around the country, running across the Pyrenees, or scaling Everest. And he is constantly cracking jokes along the way.
JÁRA
Jára is a lover of mountains, adventure, and seeking out new paths. He’ll be honored to provide the guys with all the support they need from the chase vehicle.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
The year 2008 was kinda a fruitful year. In addition to the first year of Baroko Marathon, Cyclingcamp or the Three Kings Collection another interesting idea was born - run from the lowest point of Czechia all the way to the highest one. So in the beginning of July there was this fine weekend where we and a bunch of our friends did the Hřensko-Sněžka run. Even though it was painful but as the old saying says "The appetite grows with eating."
So why don't we repeat it with the highest mountain of Europe? Or the whole world? And thats where the idea of a trilogy connecting the lowest and highest points of Czechia, continent and now planet aswell. Well it's a neat thought but its obviously not a thing you do overnight. Next came years of hard work, sacrifice and training, sometimes we did have time to care for our children or do some work. You know how it is. Few marathons, ultramarathons and cross-country and mountain ranges later...
In 2015 we did the first attempt to run from Mediterranean Sea, from Savona, to the peak of Mont Blanc. After a week of running we got only to the foot of the highest mountain. We said goodbye but with a promise that we will come back.
Two years later another attempt was made which was corrupted from the beginning by the high temperatures. Eventually we did get to the top but we had to cover around 100 km with a car because of the weather.
With all the gathered experience we tried to do it the third time, in June 2025. Again the weather was against us, but with improved logistics and 6 days from start in Savona we stood on the peak of Mont Blanc - and the gate to the end of trilogy was finally opened.
And now you are reading these lines. Just after we finish organising Baroko Marathon in September, we are entering the final stretch of our big dream. How will it go we have no idea. However if you want to be part of it follow us on our social profiles. And if you want to support us, not only morally, but also financially scroll further down.
Anything can happen. But a while back we realised that the journey is the destination. Wish us luck!
I WANT TO SUPPORT YOU
Climbing up big hills in the Himalayas is quite the business and the needed budget for the expedition substantially exceeds the prices of your average vacay. If you are excited for this idea just as we are, we would appreciate if you'd support us. And if you're not, maybe some of the rewards will convince you. 🙂
