Three souls. A pyrenean quest

Our mission is to trailrun our way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea by cutting through the French and Spanish mountain range of the Pyrenees in a timeframe of 2-3 weeks, starting on the 12th of August 2024. A wild mix of self-designed and supported routes with elements of the 3 great routes (GR11, GR10 & HRP) traversing the Pyrenees.

At each of their stops, a campsite of HEIMPLANET KIRRA tents awaits the three companions to recover from the exertions and recharge their batteries.

THREE SOULS.

Sembène Diallo @s.emben

A Dutch-Senegalese (32)  individual with a multifaceted
career. As an artist and model, he expresses creativity and elegance, while his work as an IT specialist showcases his technical prowess. Sembène's athletic background includes basketball, running, bouldering, yoga, and cycling making him
an all-rounded individual. Embarking on this challenge, his aim is to broaden the limits of both, his physical prowess and mental liberation. As an artist the trail unfolds for him as a vast canvas, and with each stride he paints a unique picture of his own strength and resilience. In the company of two like-minded spirits, who share an appreciation for the splendor of nature and the excitement of conquering demanding terrains, this endeavor possesses the potential to forge a lasting impact — not only within ourselves but also reverberating beyond. Motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a project capable of inspiring and creating positive waves within the broader community of mixed cultures, he is propelled forward by a deep sense of purpose.

Kevin Ellison @kev_ellison | kevellison.com

A German-American (36) who wears many hats. He is a photographer / creator, as well as a sport scientist. Kevin also has an experience in being an actor and a (sports-)model in front of the camera. His athletic background is basketball, capoeira, surfing, and both road and trail running, including some ultra-marathons.
His is driven to embark on a self-designed trail running adventure that could be one of his greatest physical efforts in life. He envisions sharing this monumental journey in the Pyrenees with his comrades and friends, Sembène and Patrick. The aim is to transcend mental and physical boundaries, pushing himself to achieve what may seem insurmountable, yet he truly believes that with enduring determination, any obstacle is possible. Through this project, he aspires not only to challenge himself but also to provide a beacon of inspiration for individuals of similar backgrounds, offering them a platform to witness the boundless possibilities that await when you dare to dream without restraint.

Patrick Lueke @pasdetrick | pasdetrick.space

Patrick Lueke (31) from Benin & Germany, is a personal transformation guide, model and actor. Patrick's athletic background is diverse, including handball, soccer, tricking, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and both trail and road running. This quest will overshadow any physical adventure he has ever experienced before in his life. Challenging himself to harness all he has into a
heightened state of awareness and readiness. It makes him attune his body with the terrain he is faced with on a whole new dimension. And to be able to share this incredible path with two of his best friends, is an honour and an opportunity of a lifetime that no fear or hesitation will stop him from doing. He knows deep inside he has a burning star that enables him to accomplish anything his heart desires, but this journey will actually help him to physically and intensely experience that innate lifeforce. „I want to feel expansively alive.“

Our why?

We want to inspire you to dream big. That if your mind is willing to do something, you prepare and believe in yourself and your capabilities, anything becomes possible. This is a journey through one of the wildest alpine regions in Europe. A tribute to the world of trailrunning as we see it, feel it and how we as amateur athletes interpret this form of running in its purest environment. It’s about being one with nature, to be part of the elements that surround us and to be able to explore it all. Our unique collective embodies our love of nature, the freedom and joy we feel while sharing moments in the great outdoors together. The deeper exploration of ourselves and the pursuit of continous improvement - physically, mentally & spiritually. We also wish to open doors and be an inspiration for communities with different ethnic backgrounds, mixed cultures, people of color that are less represented in an alpine terrain or even in parts the outdoor world. With this unique project we would like to invite you to join us on our trailrunning expedition.
