What an amazing race director to go out and help 1 person finish. The whole race is his responsibility and he found time to go help him. Amazing achievement.
Yeah, He's a good guy.
I saw another video where he's personally giving splits to the race leader too. He's everywhere lol
The Running Channel brought me here
Cool. Thanks for watching!
Me last week: Really struggling to make it around parkrun without stopping atm.
Me after watching this: Honey, I'm signing up to the Miler next year.
Thanks Leigh. Thats great to hear.
Amazing stuff. That was brutal. I cried. Beautiful.
Thanks guys, Im glad you liked it!
Wow, just wow. All the emotions, captured perfectly. What an inspiration. Yes I cried watching Adrian strive for the finish within the cutoff time. For someone who is running her first trail race this coming weekend this short film is pure motivation.
Thanks Julie, Go hard and have fun on your trail run!
Good luck
Great post
Hey Julie, how did you do in your trail race?
Thanks heaps Adrian and the rest of the crew in this real film . My wife found this in you tube first and forwarded it to me . This Film triggered my participation in Ultra running . Just did my First TUM 50 last Saturday , 11Feb2023 😎🤘🏽, supernatural achievement upon the finish line . Looking forward for TUM102 next year 2024 🔥🤘🏽
Thanks for watching Tam NZ! Great to hear you completed the TUM 50. Good luck with the 102 next year!
See you there!
Wasn’t expecting to have a little cry today, but there you go. What an achievement.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
I have my first 100-miler at Kettle Moraine in Wisconsin in June of 2020. You have captured my exact feelings about how friends and family help us get through the most important challenges we face. Thank you!
Go well Andrew, and enjoy the journey!
As a keen trail runner, but not super fast, I can relate to this. Well done Adrian! Loved this film so much!! #motivation
Thanks for watching!!😀👟
In tears watching this. Really shows the beauty and heart of running. Kudos to the Race director too. Amazing to see him care so much not only about the race itself but the participants. Last finisher just as important at the first place finisher 🙌🏻
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it.
This was by far one of the most beautiful documentaries I’ve seen. This mans determination is so inspirational. I hope he continues to keep chasing all his dreams. Tears rolling towards the end lol. God bless and also what a beautiful family! ❤️
Awesome! Im so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!!
What a beautiful man and his family! This was amazing! Now crying my eyes out with delight and inspiration.
Thanks! Thats great to hear!
This is the best ultra running documentary I've ever seen. As a kiwi living in Scotland, seeing the importance of our unique culture that our Māori have gifted to us and our incredible landscape has cemented a desire to make Tarawera my goal. I've run through the Redwoods and around Tikitapu/Blue Lake in multiple events and my family live in Tauranga so seeing Adrian train and race on these familiar trails that I consider wā kāinga was extra special. Now to wipe my tears and get to work.
Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed the documentary. Yep Tarawera is awesome. Looking forward to February when it kicks off again. Cheers!!
What a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant film.
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it!!
As someone at the tail end of a 6 month training program and facing 128k and 7500m of elevation in a month, expecting to be close to the 30 hour cutoff, I really needed to see this. Amazing video.
Thanks for watching. Im glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the ultra!
Both my fiance and I was lost it watching this. What a fantastic example of humility and grace. Well done Sir
Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoyed it.
Wow just wow, flicked it on and watched the whole thing. Family, family so important what an inspiration. The human spirit. I will show this to the kids I teach. Being an ultra runner I know what it is like to be at the back of the field. Hey but you get your money's worth!!
Thanks, Im glad you enjoyed it. Hope the kids are inspired too.
What a great guy...I'm 59 so it's great to see an older dude be epic! Great family and race director too by the looks of things!
Thanks. I needed that. Not quite 58 so still time to do as miler. Thanks for your vulnerability.
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it
8am in the UK and I’m crying my eyes out you git. Bloody well done mate 👍 There are few people who could do this, I’m not one of them
Thanks for watching.
More incredible and emotional than all the other 100s I've watched. In the Tour de France and other grand tours, they have an unofficial award for the rider who manages to survive 2000+km and come in last. But their achievement is nothing like this. Truly beautiful flim and very moving.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Im so glad you enjoyed it.
Glad this popped up on the recommended list, really well put together, great watch 🙏👌🏻
So am I! I'm new to TH-cam so interested to see how it all works, in regards to suggested video etc. Thanks for watching.
What a truly humbling man Amazing well done Adrian..
I agree. Awesome guy!
I have watched dozens of videos about ultra events and this is one of the top ones out there. Fantastic piece of filmmaking, Aaron. You tell a great story. Adrian, you have inspired me on so many levels. At 73 I won’t be running any races, but the lessons learned from your effort apply across the board in our lives. Thank you for this.
Wow, thank you! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I've intended to watch this for over a month and have finally gotten to it. It was awesome and inspirational and what I needed, when I really needed it. I'll definitely be watching this again and again. Now, if I could just stop my eyes from leaking...
Fantastic! Im glad it has helped inspire you. Thanks for watching!!
Hi Sir, your Pounamu story put a very big smile on my face. I was cheering alone when I saw the last 5min cut off time. You inspired me a lot. Now, I am more motivated to run my first Ultramarathon this year. Greetings from a Filipino marathon runner.
Hi, that's great to hear. Good luck with your first ultra!
What an amazing story! This really touches the very core and reason we do what we love.. Appreciate all of the pros and the race director what a class act!! Congratulations finishing your race bud!
Thanks! Yeah you are right. He's a class act!
Wow! I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat crying and willing Adrian on. Thank you for an inspiring film. Adrians words will be in my head when the going gets tough and I feel like giving up.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Awesome stuff. Saw Adrian doing some volunteer work and helping clear a section of the course in the weekend. He then ran out of the bush with a hedge trimmer across his shoulder, the man.
Yep, he's committed!
what a gentleman, and what an inspirational film. This is why i love the trails and the trail running community. Great work to all involved in the teamwork that made the finish, and the film possible.
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed it!!
Congrats Adrian! Just signed up for my first 100 miler next year - hope I can find half the courage you have. Big love from London, UK

Beautiful, just beautiful. And that ending... This'll get anyone inspired to chase bigger goals. Thanks Aaron and thanks Adrian.
