Episode one.
In the books.

“2025 we ran the recon. 2026 we launched the first episode. 2025 was the definition of chaos. 2026 we met controlled chaos. We learned this is about the people you cross with and not the numbers on your watch.”

Run Iceland
with Justin

2025 the recon · 2026 episode one · 2027 under construction

This is not a race, and it is not a vacation. It's a guided expedition across Iceland's south coast — a community stage adventure built to test you, push you, and make you question yourself, and to go deeper in conversation with God and with the crew along the way.

You cover the island the way Justin has covered countries: together, on foot, one stage at a time — carried by the same world-first, ultra-endurance experience behind everything in the records below.

“It's like your local social 5K on a Wednesday, just 35 times in a row. Somewhere between a social run and an expedition.”

Northern lights over the glowing dome at camp, Iceland, August 2026
“If you're lucky, a night filled with auroras. But most importantly, it's the people.”

“Something about 100 miles allows us to walk, or limp, away with some incredible memories we will have forever.”

Justin True · Iceland 2026

The story

Author of his
own story

“I build impossible-looking projects and then figure out how to survive them.”

Justin is no stranger to pushing limits — an Energy Systems Engineering degree, an accomplished MMA career, and 50+ countries deep, including a kidnapping in Egypt and bandit country in Madagascar. He's an ultra endurance athlete breaking world records and setting world firsts.

All of it to prove one thing: no matter the cards you're dealt, you can become the author of your own story. The records aren't the point — they're the credibility behind what he does now: leading expeditions that test you, push you, and question you, and go deeper with God along the way.

“No matter the dark corners your mind may pin you in, you are always strong enough to stand up one more time and keep fighting for tomorrow.”
