Backhome Ultra - for all those caring for their loved ones

Jana Maluchová

I am running for all those who care for their loved ones day by day. Join me in supporting the organization MILA and better conditions for care in the Czech Republic.

Backyard Ultra Run is a unique kind of running race. A new lap starts every hour. No one knows how many laps will be run. No one knows when the race will end.

It is similar with long-term care for loved ones. You don’t know how long it will last. You have to pace your energy. And sometimes, you need help.

As the years go by, I see more and more people around me caring for their loved ones. After work, they hurry home or to care facilities. They give up their own time. They withdraw from social life.

Quietly, they carry out one of the most demanding roles, one that our society still does not fully value. They often don’t have the capacity to fight for better conditions. They need their strength elsewhere.

That is why I decided to dedicate my run at the Czechia Backyard Ultra Run to them. To all those who, day by day, run their own ultra. While caring for their loved ones.

If you are a caregiver yourself, you know what this is about. If not, I invite you to take a closer look. I share stories of people whose lives have been deeply shaped by care. And also the story of those working to bring change.

One of them is the organization MILA. It works to make care in the Czech Republic a respected and lived value. It supports workers in social services, helps organizations improve care, and brings attention to a topic that often remains behind closed doors.

👉 The proceeds of this fundraiser will go to the organization MILA.

The target amount is symbolically 6706 CZK – the number of meters in one lap of the race. Just as I will try to complete as many laps as possible on the track, here it is up to us how many times we “turn this number around.”

👉 If this resonates with you, I would be grateful for your contribution.

I invite you to join this shared adventure called Backhome Ultra.

Alongside powerful stories, there will be crazy ideas, gentleness, strength, touch, and love. And also coffee, chips, cola, baby powder… and humor. Without it, it simply wouldn’t work.

📍 The race starts on May 8, 2026 at 10:00 in Holešov.
📍 You can follow the journey in the Updates of the fundraiser and on my Facebook and Instagram.

Thank you for running this with me. 🩷
