Vegan Ultradistance Runner Takes Another Win

Vegan ultradistance runner Budjargal Byambaa recently secured another victory in a fixed-term race, adding to his impressive list of wins. The race, held in Hirosaki, saw Budjargal complete a staggering 931.4 km in just six days, breaking the Asian record for the format. Known for his vegan lifestyle since 2019, Budjargal attributes his physical and mental strength to his plant-based diet, which primarily consists of raw fruits and nuts.

Having previously been a 48-hour World Champion and completing the prestigious Sri Chinmoy 3100-mile race, Budjargal is celebrated for his remarkable athletic achievements. Despite the grueling nature of ultradistance running, Budjargal remains grateful for the support he receives, emphasizing his belief in the power of veganism to fuel his success and elevate Mongolia's reputation on the global stage.
