Running aRound the us
​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's 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.
Support him on his next endeavor via his store (all proceeds benefit Cam), and stay connected through his social media. Join us in witnessing and supporting his remarkable journeys!
