Cameron Balser
Literally running around the U.S.
On October 9th, 2023, Cameron Balser embarked on an extraordinary 11,170 mile, self-supported run around the United States from Cleveland, OH. Motivated by a deep inner calling, Cameron believes in pursuing dreams that resonate from within, hoping to inspire others to chase their own aspirations.
Cam completed his clockwise journey around the country on Monday July 29th 2024 just 10 days shy of 10 months. He attributes much of this accomplishment to his family, his team, a touch of luck, and the kindness of his supporters.

The Speed Project
In late February 2024, it became apparent that Cam's US Perimeter run would land him in Santa Monica, CA, just in time to participate in The Speed Project for 2024. With one of the most coveted and challenging races in the world in his sights, Cam committed to the 280mi solo version of the race.
He had to face the fact that he had run 6,500 miles to get to the start line while others tapered. He knew he was up against some of the best runners in the world, including the course record holder. He had to process all of this while keeping in mind that he had 5,000 more miles to go after he finished.
