Serge Roetheli has lived a life many have dreamed of and few will ever accomplish. Built for endurance, Serge is a former Olympic boxer and mountain guide from Valais, Switzerland. In the mid 90’s Serge took up long-distance running. His feats include the America’s Challenge (a 15,000-mile run along the Pan-American Highway from Argentina to Alaska), running the Grand Canyon in a day, and traversing all 12 passes of the Swiss Alps.
On February 13, 2000 Serge and his wife Nicole, began a journey of epic proportion, which took them across five continents over a five-year period. He was running at a pace of 7000 km or 4,375 miles per year while she rode a motorcycle by his side. Through this ambitious voyage, the Roethelis hoped to increase public awareness of the plight of children around the world. The couple’s impetus was to promote children’s rights worldwide. At a pace of about 5'000 miles per year, The Roethelis logged 5,000 miles per year, 40 000 km by foot over 5 Continents, all in their effort to build support for their cause.
