The Westfield Ultra

The Westfield Ultra is a 24-hour endurance race where runners push themselves to see how far they can go in one full day. In 2026, Eric Koch is returning to Westfield with a goal of completing 100 miles or more.

For Eric, this run is about more than endurance. It is a way to support MissionCleanWater’s work bringing safe, reliable drinking water to families in Uganda. Around the world, too many families still have to walk long distances for clean water, and that burden often falls on children who should be in school.

Running 100 miles in 24 hours is Eric’s way of honoring that daily effort. It takes patience, discipline, and the willingness to keep moving when the body wants to stop. Through the day, through the night, and into the next morning, Eric will be pushing toward 100 miles to help raise $2,500 for clean water.

Come Support

Completing 100 miles in 24 hours is not something anyone does alone. We would love to have Eric’s community there with him. Whether you come for an hour, a few laps, the late-night stretch, or the finish, your support can make a huge difference.

Every mile Eric runs helps bring more attention and support to families in Uganda working toward something every person deserves: clean water that lasts.

We would like to thank 24x7 Packaging and Canadian Canning for supporting Eric during his 2025 Westfield Ultra and 2026 Boston Marathon.
