Support Devon’s 860 mile run through Alaska
Donation protected
Hi all,
My name is Devon Mclaughlin and in July of 2025 I will be running the length of Alaska. This will be an 860 mile run, filled with both mental and physical resistance the entire way and I could not do it without the help of my crew and donors like you.
Alaska is not only beautiful, it is unforgiving. It is the outlier on the spectrum in every facet. Extreme weather, brutal terrain that provides just under 48,000 feet of elevation ascent over the span of this run and every foot of that accompanied with dangerous wild life, exhaustion and worrisome yet liberating isolation that you can only find when the closest town is hundreds of miles away.
If I told you the goal of this was to set a record, beat a certain time or get some extra kudos on strava I'd be lying. This is about pushing past breaking points, testing limits and showing the average person what is possible when you continue to show up for yourself every day despite everything in you not wanting to. This is a journey to see what is possible when you refuse to give up.
There is no greater disappointment in life than wasted potential. My goal of this project is to help others awaken that potential that has spent a lifetime dormant.
Every donation no matter the size is a big one to us and we cannot express the level of gratitude we have for the support to help make this happen.
Thank you,
Devon & team
