"The Bali Hope Ultra is an incredibly unique experience. To take on a physical challenge and make a positive impact to those in need was extremely rewarding. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to take part and share the experience with so many amazing people. It is simply life-changing and I can’t wait to do it again next year."

Angus Tinworth, Sydney, Australia,

“It was surreal for me to return and the BEST decision of 2022!

I am so happy and grateful I did! I now have so much appreciation for this event! I loved it in 2019 - it was an immense experience and incredible to run across a country running my first ultra marathon.

This time it was so much more than running. The run was just the catalyst to what came after…I am not sure if I can put it into words but the connections and community that was created in only 4/5 days was beyond incredible! I loved every minute of the experience from start to finish! 

I also appreciate what Bali Hope is creating which is inspiring. Cleverly facilitating a caring community that is in respect of where we are running!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TOM AND TEAM!!”

Alice Evans, London, UK

"The Bali Hope Ultra is like nothing I've ever experienced before. It truly is a remarkable event that magnetically pulls together a remarkable group of people…The way 26 strangers came together from all different physical backgrounds to all make it across the island is insane. Tom, you really have created something special here and you should be very proud of it. I can't wait to come back and run crew in the future!!

Bec Nunn, Perth, Australia

"So very hard to describe and probably a description that will change over time as key experiences come back to me. The overriding factor for me though was the love that permeated the group. It’s been a week of hope, encouragement, change, challenge, emotion discovery and trust. I cannot imagine a situation where you can look into the eyes of such a diverse group of people and each one returns the love you have for them."
