Saskia van der Drift

Started as a bet in 2018 that also I can run a full marathon (honestly up change my lifestyle), I learned that running made me feel happy. After this first in Paris, I found out about trailrunning.

After a few marathons I took the step to go to Antarctica in 2024. Here I realised: I don't need to proof anything anymore. This is what I love to do and trail running is part of myself. It was a relief I wanted to share with everybody.

This is how I became an ambassador of the suicide prevention organisation in the Netherlands. And All my activities are based on creating awareness for this important theme. In July 2025 I joined the life-changingNorthpole expedition. After this experience I finished my Grand Slam by running Moab trail Marathon, summiting Kilimanjaro trail marathon and Motatapu in New Zealand.

And my message: do what feels good to you, what brings a sparkle in your chest and belly. Do it for yourself, not too proud yourself.
