Mongolian derby 2025
It is with great excitement I am able to announce I have been invited to race in the 2025 Mongul Derby – the world’s longest (1,000 km / 621 mi) and toughest horse race across the Mongolian Steppe. This is the outcome of a process which took over a year and a half of interviews and vetting. Every year hundreds – if not thousands – of people from all over the world apply to ride in this endurance race with 40 – 44 equestrians ultimately being chosen. (To say I am overjoyed is an understatement!)
The racing fees total $16,500.00 which must be paid in monthly installments starting from the date of sign up. I’ve paid my first month ($970.00) but will need ongoing support to help me cover the remainder of the fees as I still have rent and monthly bills due as life continues on. Racing fees cover everything from vetting horses, medical staff, emergency response, equipment, and more during the ten days I’ll be crossing the Mongolian Steppe.
I am in the processes of seeking and securing sponsorship for the fees, but this will be a minimum of three months out - potentially five - to finalization. In the mean time I am in need of immediate financial support to continue to secure my position.
Any money donated will be used to pay these monthly installments leading up to the race and ultimately my dream. Any amount you’re willing to contribute is greatly appreciated. If you are unable to contribute monetary support at this time, a share with your family, friends, and network would mean the world.
