Aum Gandhi is a Merrell ultrarunner from Southern California that specializes in multi-day ultras. Recently, Aum completed a 300-mile race, the highest ultramarathon in the world in Nepal, and a multi-day stage race in Scotland. But Aum didn't start running until his adult years due to mental health reasons. He encourages others to fail big. Aum also raises money for the Richstone Family Center through his endeavors to raise awareness for the fight against child abuse and domestic violence.
