Kevin Van der Straeten

Hi, I’m Kevin – ultra trail runner, CEO, author, and B&B host. This site is where I share my journey, insights, and lessons from the trails.

β€œAd astra per aspera”

β€œAd astra per aspera” symbolises my belief that through perseverance and overcoming challenges, one can achieve great things and reach for the stars.

Ultra trail running

Ultra trail running has become one of my favourite ways to challenge myself, physically and mentally. It’s not just about distance or elevation β€” it’s about showing up, staying consistent, and dealing with whatever the trail throws at you. It keeps me focused, clears my head, and helps me stay sharp β€” both in training and in the rest of my life.
