Finn Schaller, who lives in the Netherlands with his Dutch mother and has Swiss roots through his father, called his journey “Returning Home.”
He set himself a challenge: to complete the Swiss Alps 100 100K.
But his journey to the finish line became about so much more than running 50 kilometers through the Swiss Alps. It’s a story of determination, willpower, struggle, and refusing to give up — while reconnecting with a country that is part of who he is.
I’ve seen a lot of people cross our finish line over the years, but watching Finn’s story genuinely moved me.
Take the time to watch this. I think his journey will move and inspire you, too.
