I have always wanted to go to Iceland. Who would have thought that a marathon there would be so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Your photos are stunning btw.
I keep coming back to this documentary! After running it this past summer, watching it back is definitely a different experience. I kind of regret not documenting my race now but I'm glad I can always come back to this one. Love your work brother.
Fantastic race Kerry. I really appreciate the your stubbornness. Also saw your 202mile race. You are fine athlete. But most of all I like your positivity. It makes me motivated to train. You are doing a great job!
WOW just started running last year and completed a 50km run last week. Videos like yours inspire me to push myself more. Thank you,, looks like a lot of fun
Hi there. I want to do my first 50km ultra this week. Can you please tell me how it was and how often did you drank/eat since it is considered an ultramarathon. And I also cant immagine running that long without any breaks. Im not much of a running person I just want to do it for personal achievement. Also very worried about muscle loss. Please reply thank you.
Look at 9:50 where everyone is walking even in the beginning. You can jog and walk the 50K. Most will do that. Google ultramarathon nutrition and hydration and read up. Basically, eat whatever you can without getting your stomach upset. Drink a cup or two of water per hour at least. Maybe take a salt packet per hour. Fruit works well usually. Find what works for you in training. Some will eat full on while doing an ultra. Some take bites of pnut butter and jelly sandwiches. Eat some protein to limit muscle loss.
Awesome video, your videos are so authentic. Thanks for sharing. I was always racing against the clock, but you taught me that it is really worth it observing the beauty of the scenery. Regards from Germany
Great video and nice job on the quick finish. Thanks for posting. I live in Central Florida and seeing the mountains and snow made me want to run a mountain trail ultra.
Ultra Video Kerry.... ultra views just simply awesome!!! Thanks for the memories of my 2014 trip. I so want to hike that area. Too old for running... arrgg frame of mind I guess. You go lad!!!
Great film Kerry! ;) I were in Island, too for the last 2 weeks for holydays, coming back today. Amazing country with amazing landscapes. Maybe I will try this trail also in the next years ;) Best regards from Germany!
Wow how epic is that scenery, must make it interesting Much prefer the open views when hiking compared to forests. Now just got to get into trail running. This is going on the list., wonder if I could get fit enough for the 2022 one. As always great video and great race you smashed it.
Iceland is worth the visit if you run the race or not. I have a couple run videos from the week prior to the race around Iceland that are worth looking at like this one: th-cam.com/video/W5WZtPSRBB0/w-d-xo.html You'll want to go just to explore the trails.
You can see my dad in the background at around 5:10. He has run this race 3 times. 2015, 2016, and 2018. I just hiked the trail over 3 days this week great fun.
Just subscribed , this is the second video of your's that i have watched for motivation and interest and you do a great job of documenting your race's. Keep on keeping on :) Thanks for posting
Great video. Thanks for filming. Having watched this video, I think this race is now on my 'bucket list' of must-do events! Plus need to do the Reykjavik Marathon as well...
hello... thanks for share your beautiful experience with all of us... i really like your aptitude .... you really love to run.... no competition no best just about be happy ... and share good things with people thanks,,, bless you ...
I agree that he seems to be smiling while he is in the ultra. But I found that if I set the video speed in settings to 2.0 that he looks like a Bobble Head and then I don't have to listen to his gibberish mid-race... Looks like a pretty course... Did they have any hot Icelandic chicks???
There are some full length documentaries on TH-cam about ultrarunning. Not sure if this is one, but Unbreakable is about the Western States 100. It all depends on what your time goals if any are or whether you want to just finish and don't care about what time. That will determine what articles to read.
great clip like always! awesome race and place! "BUTTTTTT" like Kerry always says: keep the lens clean next time!!! ;-) this light point directly in the middle made us crazy! but we still love you!
HighHeelsTamia LOL it is an unfortunate lens SCRATCH! Hate that it is there. Perhaps I need to replace the unit before my race next week. Sorry about that. Thanks for watching and supporting.
I know this is three years later or something but I hope you have a furry mic cover by now. Love your vids and you are an inspiration to me. Many thanks!
Nice video! Running behind you guys wearing a white shirt during the first 20k or so :), then slowed down a bit, great time! Hé, did you get a shirt with the start package? Kveðjur! Erwin
Very entertaining video :-) Looks like a nice race! One question Kerry, as you seem to be doing a lot of these long distance races all over the world: which one(s) would you recommend? What is your favorite (and why)? Thanks!
People do ultras for 2 reasons. Either Marathons are too short, or it is because most ultras are trail running, which is better than road races. Trail running is amazing, just out in the mountains in the heart of nature, looking for a good challenge.
Erik Lucken OK. Still one can do trail runs that are a lot shorter. Which is what I do most of the time. (Marathon too short? I don't even want to invest more time than I would do in a marathon prep.)
Me too. I still am trying to figure out why I have done 100 miler ultra marathons in the mountains??? Maybe I should do another one to help myself figure it out???
Kerry was doing 100 miles per week in the mountains just one week before this 55K and then did the Bigfoot 200 miler? It would probably be helpful to viewers if he would have a segment at the beginning where he explains what his gear is, what shoes he is wearing, and what he has in his drop bags. And perhaps why he chose that gear and snacks. He did talk a bit mid-race on some things. At least he wasn't spouting out Communist propaganda like he was with that Commie chick who was his pacer in Bigfoot 200...
i wish people would use etymology correctly. madnesses and insanities and that which is crazy are all vices, they're what's ripping us apart from our insides out. they're what lead us astray. if you're doing good today your etymology need check as "well." for i'm doing well, or at least in unconditional hope thereof. but others are self destructive and counterproductive due to their false useage of etymology. so don't go insane/mad, but keep with virtues which are against craziness and madnesses and insanities. stick with virtues against the accursed thing. virtues are of a sound mind. vices like madnesses crazinesses and insanities are not. even magicks are ancient sins like worries and frenzies. people rather are very dull headed within their dull useage of common etymological mistakes. :/ study your virtues against vices. its a great biblical field study. helps one abstain from worldly lusts.
Watched this before my 22km run this morning, thanks for the motivation
I have always wanted to go to Iceland. Who would have thought that a marathon there would be so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Your photos are stunning btw.
Totally worth going and doing an ultra there if you have the time to make it happen. A magical country for sure.
I keep coming back to this documentary! After running it this past summer, watching it back is definitely a different experience. I kind of regret not documenting my race now but I'm glad I can always come back to this one. Love your work brother.
So glad you have this as a resource. It is an amazing route and super fun event, Thor.
Fantastic race Kerry. I really appreciate the your stubbornness. Also saw your 202mile race. You are fine athlete. But most of all I like your positivity. It makes me motivated to train. You are doing a great job!
I just hiked the Laugavegur trail. It is so beautiful. I want to return and try this ultra. Thx for sharing this Kerry. Best wishes John

Glad I found this video...running the race this July and hoping to replicate your trip! epic finish, by the way!
Re-watched this morning after seeing it years ago and being inspired by many of your videos to get into running and one day complete and ultra. 🫡
Thanks! Very useful for my race next week!
Great video! Watched it while on the treadmill- very motivating!

Great video! I hiked the trail to Skogar with Iceland Mountain Guides in September 2013 and I'm planning another trip to Iceland this July.
Ultra Video Kerry.... ultra views just simply awesome!!! Thanks for the memories of my 2014 trip. I so want to hike that area. Too old for running... arrgg frame of mind I guess. You go lad!!!
Awesome video and virtual vacation. Iceland is incredible. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I am contemplating trying this race out this upcoming summer!

The video was good but the still pictures at the in were absolutely amazing
Very well done, congrats on finishing the race 🎉😅
Enjoyed your film! Great scenery and good commentary during the race.

Brinni Leo Talk about white privilege
Love the video! Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Really inspiring! Thank you for the vid. been training for this race. looking forward to it! Keep running and keep on smiling!!!
I have been watching all your videos and gaining so much from them. I want to attempt an ultra but gaining wisdom form you first :)

Maybe winning the Marathon Des Sables is on my bucket list?

Looks like a pretty course...
Did they have any hot Icelandic chicks???
watching this in 2018
So exciting and inspirational
huge respect from INDIA 🇮🇳
just looking in to starting half/full/ultra marathons, and suggestive videos/articles etc would be great. love the video haha

Maybe he didn't want you to see the chick's face at 46:53 so he blurred it out with Video Editor??? Otherwise, you might recognize her?
This is some great stuff:D goodjob man!
I know this is three years later or something but I hope you have a furry mic cover by now. Love your vids and you are an inspiration to me. Many thanks!
love this video how did you videograph this just curious while you were running yourself must say a fantastic documentary
Great video, scenary and race man! So inspiring! What was with climbing on top of everything in the final pictures though? Ahahah :D Cheers!
Nice video! Running behind you guys wearing a white shirt during the first 20k or so :), then slowed down a bit, great time! Hé, did you get a shirt with the start package? Kveðjur! Erwin
The landscape is like a cold, wet desert. But it's prettier and more interesting looking.
Great! Thanks for sharing.
nice vid. I must visit iceland
Very entertaining video :-) Looks like a nice race! One question Kerry, as you seem to be doing a lot of these long distance races all over the world: which one(s) would you recommend? What is your favorite (and why)? Thanks!
Great vlog! what shoes do you wear Kerry?
damn sir every time I search for a video of a race you are there, have you done all the races out there? great film!
Beautiful
Like the UA shirt
What is the name of the race? I'd love to run it soon!
I think that the name of the race is in the title.
This was a tough race, I had to drop.
Is he doing the video taping?
Yes, holding an action camera on a stick called a "selfie stick". You should ask him to see his Selfie Stick...
this is neat. thanks. i still don't get why people do ultras.
People do ultras for 2 reasons. Either Marathons are too short, or it is because most ultras are trail running, which is better than road races. Trail running is amazing, just out in the mountains in the heart of nature, looking for a good challenge.

The expense to be involved in ultra races must be unreal.
