The 32-year-old began an incredible adventure on June 23, 2025, which led him over 650 kilometers through the rough landscapes of northern Mongolia. In a straight line from north to south, he reached his goal after 13 days of hard work, and was accompanied by a film team that documented his experiences. Buten and inland reports that the hilly and often rough vegetation of the region was a great challenge for Coban who had to do with sticks, stones and tough nettles.
During this time, Coban had to keep his nerves despite dangerous situations, such as a sudden storm, which he experienced with lightning and thunder. "It was simply impossible to run in such a situation," he said. He was all alone in the steppe during the storm, which gave him great fear.

Coban described his adventure in Mongolia as a mixture of pain, self -doubt and overwhelming feeling of happiness. During his expedition, he stayed in his own tent and in the yurts of nomadic families who warmly recorded him. He even helped collapse and milking cows, which gave him deeper insights into the way of life of the Mongols. Despite the difficulties of the first days and the constant fight against the elements, he experienced moments that strengthened him and filled him with joy.

"I probably never want to run a long distance in a straight line again, which was often frustrating," he confessed. Nevertheless, he feels an insatiable urge for new challenges. For 2024 he is planning a new ambitious project that is still in the floating, but his adventure soul already awakens the anticipation.
