Blink-182 Drummer Travis Barker Celebrates 50th Birthday with Passion for Running and Healthy Living

As Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker prepares to celebrate his 50th birthday on November 14, 2025, he reflects on his inspiring fitness journey. In 2008, Barker survived a devastating plane crash that left most of his body covered in burns. This near-death experience prompted him to recommit himself to health and wellness.

Now, Barker is the proud proprietor of Run Travis Run, which hosts 5K races across the United States. These events draw a diverse crowd, from "runners, athletes, punk rockers, [and] cool artists" to those who have never run before. Barker is passionate about creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels motivated and supported, regardless of their fitness level.

While Barker enjoys running with his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, he also relishes the opportunity to challenge himself and push his own limits. "There are times where I'm feeling great and I'm trying to break my own records, and then there's times where I'm just there running with the family or Kourtney and just cruising," he shares.

As Barker looks ahead to his 50th birthday, he is filled with a sense of pride and gratitude. "I'm so proud of where I'm at at 50. It's incredible. I'm healthier now than I've ever been, I'm in better shape now than I've ever been. I'm happier now than I've ever been," he says. Barker's dedication to his health and wellness has not only added years to his life but has also allowed him to enjoy quality time with his family and continue his passion for music and drumming.
