A Hundred Mile Walk - short documentary
Organising long-distance walks and ultra-marathons for over 50 years.
===
"We keep signing back up. So why?" asks a participant at the start of this atmospheric insight into the Long Distance Walkers Association's gruelling flagship challenge. Many return each year to attempt to walk or run 100 miles in a weekend, non-stop. "We're all totally mad. Which is great," says veteran Jill Green. For others, it goes deeper. This rediscovered film was shot in 2017 on the North York Moors 100 and is re-published here, courtesy of its producers.
Cinematography: Edward Mills
Editing and original music: Michael Gossage
Director: Jamie Hearing
