About Miguel

Miguel Sagastume is a Guatemalan adventurer, ultramarathoner and author who has raced and explored all seven continents over more than twenty years on the trail.

Countless trail races, marathons, triathlons, long-distance swims and solo bike tours led him to the legendary 4 Deserts Grand Slam — and his most audacious finish yet: 159 kilometres across the ice of Antarctica.

Through raw stories, striking images, and hard-won lessons from the world's toughest deserts and ice fields, Miguel helps corporate teams, organizations and congregations turn their own dreams into reality, one deliberate step at a time.

Travel Light · Go Far

Launching September 1, 2026

A narrative nonfiction memoir of racing across seven continents — from the salt flats of the Atacama to the wind-scoured ice of Antarctica — and the seven-step process for turning an audacious dream into a finish line.

Miguel travels light. He never goes far alone. This is the story of both.
