What a brilliantly put together film and well done on finishing this beast of a race! I had just about gotten over my holiday blues but your video brought it back, I can't wait to get back out there! It made me chuckle when you said at the Beaufort checkpoint that you don't know where Loyd and Steve is (22:50) because they were behind you sleeping in the corner (that's me in the grey hoodie) 😂
Come on Liga.. we’re waiting for your running challenge.. you got time to train for the occ or ccc, as a warm up. 😬👍🏼 And a big well done for your support, you must have been shattered. 🙌🏼
@@jamstaa69 oh I've been trying to get in OCC for years! 😭 I'll put in again for next year. Fingers crossed... Again. It was tiring (obviously not as tiring as running the race!) but it was a great adventure!
Superb as always. I can imagine why you fell through the bridge. Fatigue and darkness. But you soldiered on. So nice to see all the friendly faces and you smashing the finish line. Bravo 🎉
FINALLY! Well done, have been waiting for your story, since seeing you on run4adventure’s video. A long awaited, well deserved finish. This race will forever be my unicorn race.. don’t think I’ll ever be able to do it.. hoping to do the occ one day to get a taster, I’m sure I’ll catch the chamonix bug and one day do the ccc.. great video, thanks for taking the time to do it when already so tired… and you mentioned next year !?
I know!! Took a while to edit that together!! Hopefully you can get out to Chamonix to do one of the races. There are so many now there's bound to be something for you. Yes, I'll be on the start line of the big one next year. Looking forward to it already.
So many amazing views on that race. Pity you have to climb for hours to see them. Although I guess the effort to get there makes it all the more special.
Congratulations!!! So well done!!! And the way you put this film together…perfection! You have a gift with your story telling thru film. I’m truly inspired-I think this will be a bucket list race for me
Great video (as ever) & congratulations on finishing. Even more impressive as only 3 weeks after the Lakeland 100, can’t imagine you’d have been fully recovered. I ran in 2019, was good to see the daylight descent into La Gittaz in the video. Well done ✅
Wow Stephen that was amazing! I was laughing and cheering you on all the way with a few tears thrown in…. I had no doubt you would finish with all the training you were doing beforehand. Well Done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@FilmMyRun well done👍I knew how hard it was because I finished TDS at 2019. Love the atmosphere at Chamonix during the UTMB week. Actually, I am planning the UTMB 2025 and will bring my little daughter for the mini UTMB.
We have really been spoilt with emotion filled UTMB films this year. Ben/Sarah crying on the start line, Loyd's rollercoaster of a run and your grit and determination to see the job done. Amazing. Fantastic run. I'd better get some more points......
Hey Johnny. It’s just the Salomon Sense Pro 10. Nothing special! However, the bottles have filters so I can drink river water and the caps have a hook which makes them easier to hold when filling.
Man, your filming is so good it is almost more beautiful than the real thing... So hoping to make it in the lottery this year. I really love how you intermix your race with a documentary of the UTMB week (also, so jealous of the gorgeous vest)
Brilliant video Stephen! A very enjoyable watch! Loving the interlaced time-line aspect of it. That must have been a real mission to edit. (One question: how did Mr Purvis avoid getting a time penalty from UTMB for that shirt? It’s surely no coincidence that you felt “pukey” after having looked at it for a few hours 😆)
Haha, thanks Will. It did take a little time to put together yes. However, I'm sure Loyd's outfit also took a long time to put together. Many hours of considered deliberation in front of the mirror with various Saysky combinations. I'm sure my pukeyness was nothing to do with his shirt.....although it did only start after I'd been looking at it for a number of hours....
Wow! Just wow! I like watching running videos on TH-cam, especially from fellow Brits. But that was something else. Amazingly put together. You're an honest, genuine and bloody determined person. Very inspiring!
Been waiting for this video and it didn’t disappoint!! Absolutely fantastic film and well done completing it 👏👏 Now we need to see the Ben Nevis Ultra 😉
Awesome video Stephen, congratulations, loved the coverage of the elites as well. It was your CCC video that gave me the UTMB bug, now booked in to UTS100k next year to try and get my running stones. Thanks for making these videos, cheers
Thank you! Always great to see the elites running out in Chamonix. Where else can you do that so easily? Definitely something you need to experience. Good luck with UTS 100!
Fantastic - loved the route altitude layover and the flicking in and out of your race to wider UTMB events - definitely taken your stuff up to another level
Incredible Steve. Loved how you put this video together and obviously, hats off to all you amazing runners who completed TDS. The views, the journey and seeing all those other TH-camrs I respect so much was awesome mate. I can’t seem to comment on one of your videos without asking technical questions (sorry!!) - Did you stow away your 360 camera in your pole quill on your back when not in use? Was it the x2 you used and how did you keep the lenses so clean?!?!
Hi Phil. First of all thank you. Secondly, yes I tend to use the Salomon quiver for storing the 360 camera when not in use. I like to carry my poles on my race belt round my waist. I did used to own the original Insta 360 camera but sold that while back now. Never had the X2. My current 360 cam is the Kandao Qoocam 8k. But it's getting old now and I'm looking to upgrade. Thinking of the Insta 360 One RS one Inch but it's quite expensive. There are rumours of new 360 cameras coming out before the end of the year. So I'm going to hold off for a bit and see what transpires.
Awesome watched every second, with my legs up after running 30miles yesterday, not too long now until my 100 mile attempt, but mine is going to be a lot flatter.
I’m just keeping local on a self supported solo attempt, never been one for organised events. Although now I’ve seen the Chamonix finish line I could be tempted 🏔
Cheers Craig. Loving your journey at the moment too. You've definitely got that inner drive and mental fortitude to get you to the end of those long races.
You should ask utmb to hire you as a presenter for all their races. You are brilliant!!! An inspiration! Pity we all have to get running stones. Well done!
So nice video, very good job man. And congratulations for your finisher!!!! I ran utmb this year, and I saw you in Chamonix. I ran VDA 2021 and you too.I hope will see you in another races. Thank you for your videos, really good job.
Haha thanks Una. Yes I've been thinking about using something to protect my forehead from the head torch for a while now. The scourer was a last minute decision in the apartment after doing the washing up the night of the race!! I will find something more bespoke next time! You absolutely MUST come out to Chamonix and run something. UTMB or CCC if not TDS.
Congratulations Stephen! I’ve been watching your videos for years and this one made me think i should start running again. Thank you so much my friend. Huge effort! 🏃🏃🏃
Congratulations for your performance and courage. We must have met somewhere between Les Contamines and Col du Tricot, I was hiking that day there to congratulate and give you all some support, I even talked during 10 or 15 minutes with one of the guys behind you in that climb (the guy with a black and yellow shirt and a blue cap) and got at the top a few minutes before you. Seeing you all climbing after one day and a half was really impressive because it was hot, sunny and quite steep, and you were all very tired. Well done and thank for sharing that with us!!!
Thank you Lionel. It was a long time out on the mountains but I loved it so much. We did meet many hikers on the trails and it was hard to explain to some of them how long we had been out there!!
Stephen, as always 👏👏👏👏👏👏 you're a great man, althete, runner and inspiration for I guess many of us. Keep running and never stop having fun out of it 🤜🤛
What an amazing video. Absolute Sterling effort mate. Your content is truly awesome The narration and editing of your videos are brilliant. The arc of attrition videos are brilliant.
Such an enjoyable watch an awesome story told. I started my running in January and quickly started watching Lloyd's channel which led me to your channel. It's great to see you guys coming together. Spine tingling stuff! it must have been great to be so far ahead of cut-offs. I can't imagine what your quads must have felt like especially after 7 Ben Nevises!🤯
Yes, Loyd, Ben, Sarah and I have all known each other for a few years. But it's nice to actually spend a little time together. Enjoyed running with Loyd and Steve Wyatt.
Great video Stephen, genuinely excellent for those of us yet to do it in helping us visualise the route. Huge respect for you for finishing. But I think we need to leave the elite runners alone and let them do their thing., especially near the finish line. Killian was anxious last year with so many people running beside him during the final descent that he couldn't tell if Matthiew had caught up with him or not
Thanks Brian. Much appreciated. Yea, it's crazy with someone as famous as Killian. You just can't prevent people running alongside. With Jim, it was a little different. Jim knows my son. He wasn't pushing hard to avoid being caught and I think it was ok. But it's certainly a valid point.
What an absolutely brilliant film. One of your best for sure. Really enjoyed the slicing of footage from the entire week into the video..it worked great. Really felt every emotion you went through and found it very inspiring. Congratulation on completing the race and getting over the finish line. well done.
Thank you! Yes, it was a choice of having all that extra footage at the end and I thought far better to try and mix it in. Very glad to get over that line finally!
Wow, well done Steve. An outstanding achievement. An enthralling watch too. Great to see the other races mixed in. Must have been so special seeing the ladies who were there in 19. Brilliant.
Super super video Stephen. A risky decision to mix in your footage from the rest of the week and to use the voiceover but it worked perfectly. Audio also was so crisp and clear. That can’t have been from the mic on the osmo?? Finally, thanks for the shout out, I wasn’t expecting that when it came on. Great job mate 👏
Thanks David. Yes initially I had the extra footage at the end but I just didn't feel it was right. So found a way to weave it into the main film . I think I just about got away with it! Your channel definitely deserves to grow and each of us (TH-camrs) is able to offer a different perspective and take on what we are experiencing, which is all the better for the viewer
I must apologise but at 25:30 I had to have a chuckle, I'm glad it wasn't too serious that it prevented you acheiveing something you've wanted for so long, and a great insight to those who cannot do these type of races
Absolutely amazing film and an even more amazing effort Stephen. Felt like I was there. Huge congrats on finally getting it done, that revenge must feel very sweet!
You are a fantastic film maker and should have a grizzilion subs, not just your filming, your narration , the emotion, ups, downs, everything, really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing your amazing adventure , best wishes, jen, Somerset😊
Wow wow wow an amazing journey with beautiful scenery telling a riveting story. Thank you for sharing this with us, that looked like a tough run out there and you must be super pleased with your effort. Your videos continue to inspire me to train harder and one day reach the mountains, thank you 🙏
@@FilmMyRun nothing too soon I'm afraid. On the slow journey to UTMB week > recovering from an ankle injury and back to 0 points in the meantime. Great to see you all out there getting it done. It's inspiring the recovery!
Well done Stephen. Did you get to the bottom of the distance discrepancy between your watch and the course? I assume you were using one of the latest Garmin’s….
Hi Chris. Yes, I was using the Garmin Enduro 2 with full Multi-band GPS. I have been over the data and put it through a variety of filters and if anything the raw gps data suggests it's even longer than my watch said at the end. I can only conclude that UTMB were rubbish at measuring the course distance initially!! It's definitely longer than 145km and nearer 157km
Oh my, what a triumphant return. Absolutely fantastic to watch and follow you along this tremendous effort. And it´s so beautiful so see the comradery with all the other famous runners, Loyd, Steve, Ben and Sarah to name a few. Great storytelling once again.👏👏🤝💪😊
There were a lot of TH-camrs out there this year! It was fun to spend time together and we do all get on well. Although I guess we all have the shared interests of running and film making, so it's not hard to find things to talk about!! Thanks Yono
Haha, it was a last minute decision to use the scouring pad. I have been thinking about using something to cushion my forehead from the head torch for ages but never got round to doing anything about it. Then I saw the scouring pad in the apartment and thought, 'I'm having that'!
@@FilmMyRun no Stephen I've never done an ultra let alone considering something like TDS. I am in awe of all you amazing runners who take part and really enjoy watching. Maybe one day eh?
I really, really enjoy your videos! As I got inspired by you... where do you keep the camera the whole race? Always in your hands or in/out your backpack?
@@FilmMyRun we are going to head back early August next year as a family holiday. Hoping to get some running stones over the next 18months and race there again in 2024. Kerry Way Ultra in Ireland next Sept is my main goal of 2023. Are you going back next year ? UTMB?
I've watched this twice already, I love my Ultras but how you can film on the go and go into great depth of information and explananing during the race is crazy. You really do your homework on these events and i admire this and something i should work on. I take my hat off to you Sir. Well done on your recent venture at Ben Nevis too. 👏 Will we be getting a FilmMyRun from that weekend?
Congrats for finishing! One of the better films I have watched on the UTMB races on YT this year. Love your way of story telling through adding intertwining different segments within the film. Great job!
What a fantastic video! Very moving to see how joyful you were at the end. And truly inspirational to see that a DNF or bumps in the road don’t need to spell the end for someone or that it’s not possible. That hard work and sheer determination can make it happen. I loved it. Thank you. ❤
I’ve just finished watching this and I’m crying my eyes out 🤦🏻♀️ An amazing achievement which you’ve worked so hard at. All of you are truly inspirational runners. A massive well done, you deserve it
@@FilmMyRun I can well imagine!! When you’ve run that distance on frankly terrifying terrain the feeling of relief and elation must be overwhelming!! I’m in complete awe.
What a brilliantly put together film and well done on finishing this beast of a race!
I had just about gotten over my holiday blues but your video brought it back, I can't wait to get back out there!
It made me chuckle when you said at the Beaufort checkpoint that you don't know where Loyd and Steve is (22:50) because they were behind you sleeping in the corner (that's me in the grey hoodie) 😂
Haha that’s hilarious. And thinking about it, once I woke up I talked to Steve before I left!! We will be there next year. Only 11 months to go!!
Come on Liga.. we’re waiting for your running challenge.. you got time to train for the occ or ccc, as a warm up. 😬👍🏼
And a big well done for your support, you must have been shattered. 🙌🏼
@@jamstaa69 oh I've been trying to get in OCC for years! 😭 I'll put in again for next year. Fingers crossed... Again.
It was tiring (obviously not as tiring as running the race!) but it was a great adventure!
Epic! This should win an award!
Thank you Michael. I did win an award for my Backyard Ultra video last year, but another one would be very welcome!
Superb as always. I can imagine why you fell through the bridge. Fatigue and darkness. But you soldiered on. So nice to see all the friendly faces and you smashing the finish line. Bravo 🎉
Hello Mr. Thank you. Yes you're exactly right about the bridge. I remember seeing the hole but I still put my foot in it!!

Hi Rachel. For me each year it became more and more of a must-do, must-finish race. The scenery is definitely worth it. But I'm glad it's now done.
Great video (as ever) & congratulations on finishing.
Even more impressive as only 3 weeks after the Lakeland 100, can’t imagine you’d have been fully recovered.
I ran in 2019, was good to see the daylight descent into La Gittaz in the video.
Well done ✅
Yes I ran that descent in 2019 as well, in the dark it was a lot different. I remember thinking we were in a cave as the rushing water sounded so loud
A great film. What an inspiration. Congratulations on finishing.
Thank you Venus. very glad to finally finish that one.
Well done mate! Absolutely brilliant to watch 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Appreciated Jake thanks. Very glad to get that one done!
Wow Stephen that was amazing! I was laughing and cheering you on all the way with a few tears thrown in…. I had no doubt you would finish with all the training you were doing beforehand. Well Done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Best one yet. Excellent
Wow, thanks so much Keith. Always appreciate your comments.

Great video Steve and well done mate, sorry for the boring question, but what pack were you wearing?
Hey Johnny. It’s just the Salomon Sense Pro 10. Nothing special! However, the bottles have filters so I can drink river water and the caps have a hook which makes them easier to hold when filling.

Found it :) Cody Francis - Whenever You're Going .

You're sure now? Don't want to think it over for a few days...or years? No,. ok...go for it!!
Garmin Hardware is impressive, software & services are not.. Yet another app..!?
Honestly I trust the watch more than the course. It's definitely way longer than 145km. Much nearer 155km.
Stephen, your ability to weave a story through video, music, and narration is so good. Thank you.
Thanks John. appreciated.
Man, your filming is so good it is almost more beautiful than the real thing... So hoping to make it in the lottery this year.

This has to be your best video so far Stephen. Immensely enjoyable. Very well done for finishing and realising a dream. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So kind of you to say John, thank you. Definitely glad that race is now put to bed! UTMB next year.
I must apologise but at 25:30 I had to have a chuckle, I'm glad it wasn't too serious that it prevented you acheiveing something you've wanted for so long, and a great insight to those who cannot do these type of races
Haha, it wasn't funny at the time as I was worried for a moment that my race was over again! But looking back I can definitely see the funny side.
Wow, just wow ! Amazing storytelling, "sweet" revenge, congratulations, mate !
hey thank you so much. Oh yes, sweet revenge and I can move on to the main UTMB race now!
yet again you are a true inspiration Steve. this was all the motivation I needed to get out the door this morning and....RUN xx
Thanks Jason. And well done for getting out there!! You know it does you good.
Congratulations - such a great capture of all that goes on across the week and your own journey.
Thank you Matt. Appreciate that.
Absolutely amazing film and an even more amazing effort Stephen. Felt like I was there. Huge congrats on finally getting it done, that revenge must feel very sweet!
It's always the goal to make the viewer feel like they are experiencing the race with me. Thank you Ian......and yes, very sweet indeed!!
Excellent. See you at Arc!
Wow, well done, so pleased you still had it in your legs to run the final straight and grandstand the finishing line!
Hahahaa, Mark. I just had to run the last bit. Couldn't walk over the finish line!!
Cracking stuff and amazing achievement!
Aaah hello guys! Thank you very much. Loving your unique style too.
Great film. Congratulations on a well deserved finish.
Thanks Ian. Much appreciated
What a great video, loved the rest of the week intertwined into the race report. Great effort at finally cracking TDS
Thank you Tim. Glad to be able to move on to UTMB for next year.
Loved to see that Transgrancanaria Finisher vest. Congrats!!!
I love my TGC top!! It’s not warm enough to wear it here this year!!
see you there Steve. just got my place, carried over from 2 years ago.
Amazing Sean. It's such a fab experience every year. We love it. See you on the start line.
You are a fantastic film maker and should have a grizzilion subs, not just your filming, your narration , the emotion, ups, downs, everything, really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing your amazing adventure , best wishes, jen, Somerset😊
Haha, thanks Jenny. Well, subs are slowly rising and gaining traction thanks to lovely folks like you sharing and enjoying my work.
Wow wow wow an amazing journey with beautiful scenery telling a riveting story.
Thank you for sharing this with us, that looked like a tough run out there and you must be super pleased with your effort.
Your videos continue to inspire me to train harder and one day reach the mountains, thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it Thank you so much for watching. What mountain races would you like to do?
@@FilmMyRun looking to do one of the shorter / starter races at either Transgrancanaria or La Plagne 6000D
Congratulations Stephen! Absolutely thrilled for you. And thank you so much for sharing it all in yet another incredible video!
Thanks Robert. Glad you enjoyed it. Anything planned for you soon?
@@FilmMyRun nothing too soon I'm afraid. On the slow journey to UTMB week > recovering from an ankle injury and back to 0 points in the meantime. Great to see you all out there getting it done. It's inspiring the recovery!
Well done Stephen. Did you get to the bottom of the distance discrepancy between your watch and the course? I assume you were using one of the latest Garmin’s….
Hi Chris. Yes, I was using the Garmin Enduro 2 with full Multi-band GPS. I have been over the data and put it through a variety of filters and if anything the raw gps data suggests it's even longer than my watch said at the end. I can only conclude that UTMB were rubbish at measuring the course distance initially!! It's definitely longer than 145km and nearer 157km
Wow! That is quite a discrepancy! Props to you for not being more upset on the day!
Congratulations and brilliant video to go with it enjoyed all the crossover with different channels as well nice to see the comradery...
Thanks Patrick, yes we all know each other of course and it's nice to get together from time to time. Chamonix is a great place to do it.
Oh my, what a triumphant return. Absolutely fantastic to watch and follow you along this tremendous effort. And it´s so beautiful so see the comradery with all the other famous runners, Loyd, Steve, Ben and Sarah to name a few. Great storytelling once again.👏👏🤝💪😊
There were a lot of TH-camrs out there this year! It was fun to spend time together and we do all get on well. Although I guess we all have the shared interests of running and film making, so it's not hard to find things to talk about!! Thanks Yono
Wow wow wow!! What an emotional video. So well edited. Loved it well done x
Aaah thank you for your kind words. Very much appreciated.
Massive congratulations Stephen on the finish and a great film. I am glad the scouring pad made it 🙂
Haha, it was a last minute decision to use the scouring pad. I have been thinking about using something to cushion my forehead from the head torch for ages but never got round to doing anything about it. Then I saw the scouring pad in the apartment and thought, 'I'm having that'!
Great video mate! Really well put together and it was great to relive our adventure 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Oh mate, it really was an adventure and now, one that I really will cherish. We should do another one some time!!
Brilliant. Well done. Great video. Thanks
Thanks Steve.
what was the pan scrubber for under your headtorch?
Hahahahaha, I decided at the last minute that I needed something to stop my head torch rubbing on my forehead as it always does. It worked quite well.
Congrats Steve! Amazing effort and a brilliant film.
Thank you so much Etienne.
Such a great film, really enjoyed it and well done on your TDS success.
Thank you Debbie. Appreciate your comments. Is TDS something you would ever consider?
@@FilmMyRun no Stephen I've never done an ultra let alone considering something like TDS. I am in awe of all you amazing runners who take part and really enjoy watching. Maybe one day eh?
I really, really enjoy your videos! As I got inspired by you... where do you keep the camera the whole race? Always in your hands or in/out your backpack?
Fantastic video Stephen!!! Congratulations on your finish 👏.
It was great to meet you in chamonix, thanks for the chat. Best of luck at the weekend.
Good to meet you Mark. Will you be back out there next year?
@@FilmMyRun we are going to head back early August next year as a family holiday. Hoping to get some running stones over the next 18months and race there again in 2024. Kerry Way Ultra in Ireland next Sept is my main goal of 2023. Are you going back next year ? UTMB?
Possibly your best video to date, Stephen. Just, Wow! An absolutely herculean effort. A very emotional finish. Congratulations again 💪👍
Thank you so much Ash. It’s definitely a tough run…. Hike!!
That was awesome ,well done fantastic effort
Thanks Steve. Any plans to try this one?
Excellent, I didn't know if you had filmed it again but I'm glad you have, I'm looking forward to this one 😀
Cheers Dan
What a great video!!! So inspiring!!!
Thank Oscar. Just want to help people believe they can do these things.
gotta say the crowd there are amazing, they really come out and support people. Even the back markers get a ton of support.
Brilliant mate, well done, amazing video.
Thank you David. Much appreciated.
Big congratulations Stephen 👏👏
Thank you. Will we see you out in Chamonix next year?
Don’t know. But I’ll definitely see you at the Arc of attrition 100 👍🏻
I've watched this twice already, I love my Ultras but how you can film on the go and go into great depth of information and explananing during the race is crazy. You really do your homework on these events and i admire this and something i should work on. I take my hat off to you Sir.
Well done on your recent venture at Ben Nevis too. 👏
Will we be getting a FilmMyRun from that weekend?
Thanks Nick and yes I did film Ben Nevis although maybe not in quite as much detail!!
Congrats for finishing! One of the better films I have watched on the UTMB races on YT this year. Love your way of story telling through adding intertwining different segments within the film. Great job!
Thank you so much Jackey. I appreciate you taking the time to say that, especially see as we've had quite a few good UTMB films this year.
Congratulations !!!!!!!
Thank you Jose.
Fabulous.
Appreciated Dan
What a fantastic video! Very moving to see how joyful you were at the end. And truly inspirational to see that a DNF or bumps in the road don’t need to spell the end for someone or that it’s not possible. That hard work and sheer determination can make it happen. I loved it. Thank you. ❤
Thank you H. I was sooooo happy to get to the end. It was a long couple of days out!
Just amazing ❤
Thanks Sarah!
Brilliant 🎉🥳 well done, fantastic effort ❤️
Thanks Stephen
I’ve just finished watching this and I’m crying my eyes out 🤦🏻♀️ An amazing achievement which you’ve worked so hard at. All of you are truly inspirational runners. A massive well done, you deserve it
Aaah Amy thank you watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing you at Beachy Head next month.
Well done!
Cheers Chris
Quite brilliant! Your best run.
Are you just saying that because you’re in it?!!
@@FilmMyRun I hadn't noticed 😉
Congratulations 👏 what a brilliant experience this must have been ❤
Oh absolutely. The Alps are amazing. Chamonix is amazing and the whole UTMB week is something else. Experience it if you can.
Absolutely incredible! What a great film. So glad you finished it - very emotional for you at the finish line! Congratulations Stephen 🎉
Thanks Christina. The UTMB finish line is definitely one of the most emotional finish lines you can cross as an ultra runner.
@@FilmMyRun I can well imagine!! When you’ve run that distance on frankly terrifying terrain the feeling of relief and elation must be overwhelming!! I’m in complete awe.
