AUSSIE Mega Run - Delirious WEST 200 Mile Ultra Marathon Race 2019 - Long Form Documentary

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This was the inaugural event held in southwestern Australia. I had no idea how this event would play out as it was farther than I had ever traveled for a race. This video covers the whole race in long format - about the same length as a Joe Rogan Experience episode.
This is the fourth 200 miler I have run the first year it was offered and then made a video to document.

The Aussies welcomed runners from all over and made us feel welcome. You can learn more at the event web site here: deliriouswest20...
Grab some popcorn and electrolyte drink. Get on the treadmill. Fire up the big screen. Put this on the secondary monitor. Once you watch it, you'll know WAY more than I did heading out to Perth to actually run the event.
And be sure to comment and share - particularly if you endure the entire video.

man this style of documentary feels much more real and entertaining too. none of that annoying music , jumpcuts and fancy drone shots.
4 hours to the premiere. But it still hasn't finished processing. I'm afraid that this won't be done by then. It has been 'processing' for more than 30 hours. I really hope I don't have to restart this whole thing all over again... IF the video doesn't start come premiere time, it will be because youtube is having issues getting this massive video handled.
After 38 hours of processing it finished all of a sudden. Started the Premiere a bit more than 2 hours late. But glad it is done. an public.
Thank you for uploading! Youre awesome!
Thank you Kerry for this video! I live in Perth and I had no idea this event existed. After I saw it I took a massive leap out of my comfort zone and volunteered!! What I found was an amazing bunch of people doing amazing things. From the absolutely amazing volunteers I met helping out at aid stations, the organisers who helped me out so much when I had issues, and the amazing competitors and their crews. An amazing, inspiring few days I wont forget!
Phillip, how cool to hear that this video played a role in getting you involved in this incredible community. Happy to hear that you had a highlight experience doing the volunteering. (Thanks for doing, that BTW.)
The spider is a Orb Weaver and are very common, they are not harmful to people, they are a beautiful creature. I am so pleased you loved are little part of the world and thanks for coming and sharing my friend 👍😁
Kerry, thanks so much for coming and experiencing the Delirious WEST. It was a pleasure to meet you and you're welcome back here any time. We may even put an arrow up at the start to make sure you all go the right way!
You guys did a fantastic job with the first running of this event. I can't wait to follow it (alas from afar) this year. I think there should be a loop out going the wrong way inserted as a wonderful tradition. It allows everyone to see each other.
Watched all your documentaries all the way through. This is no different, unbelievable Kerry
Thanks Kerry for the long videos on Ultras. The net for me is that they have put the bug into me to extend my marathon career into ultras. I did my first 50K last weekend and I have a 50 miler the weekend after I run Boston this April.. Keep running, keep filming, keep posting.. you are impacting more people than you could imagine!
I've never been to nor seen that part of the world. Now thanks to you we get to visit this place, and it is beautiful. Amazing coastline, trees, trails, raised walkways, and sunsets. Thanks for sharing your experience.
My pleasure 😊It is a great way to share my experiences with friends and family, too.
Just took a quick look and I'm already thrilled! I really love to see Your appreciation for all things and positivity at all times.
This documentary wil be my evening program today :-)
Kerry, you're a machine! I can't fathom what it takes to maintain your level of mental and physical fitness all these years, and I SOOOO appreciate the work you put into taking us all along for the ride. Unbelievable man!
Took me a few days to finish but I got there. Thanks for the kudos and you're very welcome for the trail love, come back!
Viewing is an endurance event, you're saying?
Can't totally explain why, but one of the best ultra videos that I have seen. I think it is a combination of the conversations, video quality, and showing the times of the people you talk to. Very personable. Thanks 👍
Just watched this again. I'm a Aussie and know a few people in that race, and what a great seeing it from your point of view. I loved it.
Your ability to connect within this environment is incredible. I've watched each of your races a few times and it's a noteworthy feature in your videos that only very few others can capture....and thank you for that effort. I know the community has that feature but you're a great ambassador and recruiter for the sport whether you're intentionally trying to be or not.
Wow, thank you! That is a fantastic comment. Sorry it took so long to respond. Ultra ambassador has a nice ring to it...
@@FullTiltWard it does have a good ring to it, you have the relationships to make it happen, the position just needs a vision for outreach and some networking partnerships between the different circuits and it could be a great opportunity. Looking forward to the next video, Safe travels Kerry.
Another great video - I keep thinking about those snakes & spiders - Australia has the 10 most deadly of both - thanks for taking us along Kerry!
I checked in on your little dot on the live tracking map a few times during this, so I've been really looking forward to seeing this one.
Ooh, just seen that it's long format, awesome! I'll make sure I've not got anything to do the next day, being in the UK I end up watching your new uploads at 3am!
You'd have needed an early night to watch this in one sitting!
This time it actually would have aired at a relatively early time for me but i ended up missing the start, luckily I tuned in with 10 mins of the live left so I said hi on the live comments and watched from the start, I think it was about 1am when I started, lucky I'm a night owl!
I also have watched many a race as little dots move glacially across a course in some corner of the world. Glad you like the format.
Kerry great video! I followed the race from home in Perth while several friends were running in it. This has given me thechance to feel like I was there. I also clocked up some 30kms on the treadmill while watching it. Win win!
Treadmills are the best way to enjoy this content for sure.
Kerry. Not only do you inspire me to start trail /ultra running myself, you assist me through my night shift with all these long-form documentaries. Many thanks
That is awesome! A great way to digest hours while on shift. Happy to keep you company.
I like watching these. They are great! And it tunes out my horrible upstairs neighbors that make noise all night long.
That is hilarious. Glad we can mask the noises from the horribles.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you for such an excellent video of a glorious country and awesome race. It has kept me captivated while I pedal away on my indoor bike for 2 hours.
Great job!
Thank you so much for taking us along!
Hi Kerry. I’ve watched many of your videos and loved that you were here down under. As a 66 yr old I hadn’t run but through the years tramped and biked and in the last 6 years I’ve dropped 30kg and been working out with weights. My PR suggested a half marathon which I managed in August and then just last weekend on my 67th birthday I did the Tussock Traverse from the Desert Rd to the Chateau Hotel between Mt Ruapehu and Mt Tongariro in New Zealand where I live. A mission in heat no breeze for first 10km. Completed. I’m so thankful to you for inspiring me as I trained. I look forward to more videos of places I’ll never go. Keep up the encouraging work. 👍🙌🏻
Fantastic video. Awesome achievement (200mi x 4)! Very inspirational.
Great to watch. I am always in awe of people who do these massive distances.
Excellent, especially loved the running along the coast and beach. Mrs Gorgeous did not like the spiders. Thank you so much and very sorry to hear about your Dad.
Great video Kerry. Thanks for taking us with you on your adventures
Thanks Kerry, this vid has been my companion for many treadmill kms.. welcome to Aus, enjoy the heat😳😆
Excellent. I watched till the end. It has been a joy to watch on my long runs. Will be looking at your other long form videos. You make GREAT videos
What a brilliant portrayal of our amazing country. Every video inspires - thanks for showing what the human body is capable of, with commitment.
Holy cow that was a long video! Loved it, watched it start to finish. Amazing race can't believe you filmed as much as you did, really amazing. Thank you sharing you experience, really incredible.
Love the long version videos. I enjoy seeing more of the process. So many tips to help me on my ultra journey! Thank you!
Glad you like them! Hope they prove to be helpful.
Well done bro running a race and making a compelling film is amazing and never once did you look stressed 👍
I'm sure there were moments of stress during the event. Telling the story sometimes keeps me going.
Absolutely brilliant video as always thanks so much for sharing this adventure with us
Watching the video turned in to a staged event but I finished eventually coming in just under 5 days I guess :-) Proud to say that I never DNF'd a Kerry Ward video so far.
Amazing achievement and a great running video. Really enjoyed watching the beautiful scenery. Thank you and well done.
Another great video, I love the long format. Thank you for taking us along.
Great video Kerry, incredible. I have no idea how you stay so chipper or seem to walk normally the next day sorting your kit out. You've got a real talent for it. I alwsys cnlonsidered your videos a part of my endurance training. Got strava this year so will search and add you on that. Running the CCC this year so maybe see you in Chamonix.
I love all the positive conversations and support that you give to other racers and to the volunteers and race directors. You make the 2.5 hour video sooooo fun to watch. You are amazing and an inspiration. 🙌🏻👏🏻
Appreciate it Denise. It helps get through the event when things stay upbeat - despite the obvious challenges.
As an east coast Australian I enjoyed following this a great deal. The ultra may noyt be on the list however the track maybe on the list. Congrats on the finish.
Super cool video! I've only gotten into running recently but i'm already scoping out these ultramarathons since they just look so fun! Amazing people, amazing atmosphere - running for themselves but also supporting each other. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I will be doing my first 100Mile and this video is truly inspirational. Thanks
Hope your 100 mile debut goes well, friend.
Thoroughly enjoyed your story. I class myself as a “failing” ultra runner at this stage as I’m yet to get over 100km. And I recently came up with the idea of videoing my own runs like you do, partly for the same reason of just recording it for me and family/friends, but also partly to help me step up to the next level. Hopefully it will help distract me from what is happening that sometimes results in me not getting past that 70km point so often. Watching your video all the way through certainly helped and seeing what a great time you had and how you experience an event like this. Thanks for sharing it and I look forward to watching some of your other videos of past events.
Justin Winton Try higher fat in your diet
My experience in long runs is often managing my output level so I'm able to sustain. This means constant monitoring of pace, effort, hydration and calorie intake. Then just deciding to 'will' myself forward relentlessly even when there are low points.
Thank you for documenting this Kerry! Really appreciate the chance to get insight into what a 200 miler entails. Enjoyed this and many of your other videos. Sorta glad I'm nursing a mild injury, so I had the chance to watch this in one go!
Hope to meet you someday so I can say thank you in person. Hoping to do a 200 miler someday.
Thanks for sharing your expierence with us.
Watched to the end. Love watching your videos. They are inspiring and entertaining. This one did not disappoint. Congratulations 🏃♂️🍾🥂
I just watched this again!!! Great video!!! 👍🏻
I watched it all....great job....what’s funny here is I don’t run -at all 😂 I found your channel by watching your trek to base camp and then just started watching your other videos!
Reminder set!
Leaving the comment. Absolutely wonderful video (or movie more like it) - thanks a million. The scenery was absolutely stunning!
Glad you enjoyed it
A pleasure from beginning to end. Let's face it you could hardly fit the emotion and trials of a 200 miler into a 10 minute clip. I think the sand would have done me in however. I do enjoy living vicariously through your videos. My second attempt at 200 coming up in a few months. Sleep deprivation got to me in my previous attempt.
Thank you so much for producing these videos Kerry. You are a true inspiration, and I enjoyed every single minute of this 😊. Watching this video has given me strength in a challenging period. Thank you for that. I wish you all the best, and look forward to watching your next adventure 😊
Best regards Michael
Do I get an award for watching the entire thing!?! Took a few days but I got through it. I stumbled on your Bigfoot 200 video, then TH-cam suggested your Moab 240, then this. Lots of crazy, encouraging, inspiring stuff!! Great job! Kinda make me want to do a 200, I did my first 100 last year, however I don't know if I really want to try it, specifically concerned about not making a cut off, I'm not fast, and all the training, it's so very time consuming. ...maybe someday.
Thanks for sharing!
Jill. Heck yes, you get an award. Would a free pass to watch the new Ultra Intense Cocodona video work for you? It is more than twice the length of this one! studio.th-cam.com/users/videoh_Lkp5zhcO4/comments
200 milers often have a pretty generous cutoff, so people have a great chance of completing as long as they keep moving. Certainly not about speed. Consider it.
Loved the documentary, you have such a natural way with people that makes them open up and feel happy. That is your biggest gift. I'm very much looking forward to future content.
I've got into running at the beginning of 2019. 12 miles is about the furthest I've run. I'm really drawn to going longer and I love off road. Any tip or advice on going longer and further because I would love to do an ultra one day. I'm 45 this year so no interest in winning or fast times.
Been looking forward to this one coming out. Great video Kerry, as always.
Damn. This was just a random recommended video and I recognized your voice immediately from your US 200 videos.
Keep it up, friend. Thanks a ton for doing these.
Kerry what an amazing video! Absolutely smashed that! I'm worrying about a 120 in June and you breeze through that with no wonky gait or anything! I have to do a lot of my training on the treadmill for family reasons and always love a video from you to keep the minutes (or hours!) ticking by. Congrats on another 200. What's next?! 300 maybe...? 😉
Love the videos and the channel. People that run ultras are incredibly inspiring. Loved your Moab 240 videos. Both the one where you paced a couple guys and where you ran it yourself.
It’s always a pleasure to share 2:53 with you! Silver
Signed up for a 50k here in Texas in May. This is so inspirational and informative. Thanks for sharing
Ryan, hope you have a great race there. Cheers.
Showing at 4am Thurs here in West Oz, Kerry what are you doing to me 🤣 I shall watch it a few hours later after my speed workout 😅👍😎
LOL Sorry about that.
Perhaps I can make an adjustment to accommodate the WA folks.
I really enjoy watching the way you document your ultra runs, and all of your other adventures too!
Watching them really encourages me to go further in my own adventures (which I should start tracking,... seeing as my last name is Strava... it's the universe talking to me, lol).
Awesome, thank you! How interesting that you share a name with Strava. Keep pushing farther!
Made it through. Thanks for bringing us along. Epic. Great job! And, not that much delirium! :) Surprised me.
Kerry! Brilliant. I watch all your videos.
Glad you like them! Appreciate your attention.
Hey mate, great video. Love the way you live your life!
Thanks for the video Kerry. Did it in 3 parts and enjoyed every Moment.
What a trip Kerry! Thanx for the great footage, and inspiring talks along the way. Truly awesome.
Watched the whole thing, besides a great video, this proves why I will never step foot in Australia those spiders you saw i was freaking out just seeing them in video. Great job on another race. Side note if your ever in Germany let me ill buy you a coffee or give you a ride if you need it.
LOL yeah the spiders were a special kind of horror stretched across the trails. Luckily, didn't end up with one plastered to my face at night. And yes, if I come to Germany, always great to meet friendly locals.
I grew up near Middlebury, IN and my dad grew up Amish so it was neat hearing you talk about my old stompin’ grounds
😁
I love watching your videos btw !
Thanks Kerry this is the one I've been waiting for. Brilliant, comprehensive and just confirms my decision to enter the Insatiable South sister run in June - it would be brilliant if you could come ... the West is great but South Australia is awesome!!
Great video as always. I will say this, I found your videos a while ago on a fluke and was hooked. I will be running my first ultra on April 25th in great part because I stumbled across your channel. Great video as usual.
Thanks Old Toad. Glad the fluke connected you. Congrats on your upcoming Ultra - now that is inspiring.
Great job...love the videos 👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Thats a medal that Snoop Dog would like .....so big! Great run....way to go ! Yes....this was a long Ultra Video watch....but worth it . We call the roots and rocks that one trips on...Baby Heads.
Amazing video. It took me less time to watch than it took you to run 200 miles. I was inspired enough that I have put my name down to volunteer this year at the Delirious West.
That is a fantastic thing to do. Glad you will be able to be exposed to the event in this way. Happy to hear you will be out there soon enough seeing what the race is like
I really enjoy watching ! Thanks for sharing these wonderful experiences! Very inspiring
Inspirational.. Huge respect from India 🇮🇳
You are a lot of positive vibes! 💯What an incredible mindset you have to achieve such a challenge. Enjoyed watching it! 😁😁😁😁
3 hours well spent! Thanks a lot Kerry! Keep them coming :-)
That race looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! (By the way I watched until the end.)
Took 3 sittings but great video as always
These videos are amazing! I love the unity!!
Glad you enjoy it!
@@FullTiltWard absolutely! I just started getting serious about running! Just discovered your videos last week, I’m inspired! Thank you!
I made it to the finish!! 😆 Great effort as always, Kerry.
I’m pretty sure the snake threat would put me off this one. I’m more comfortable with mountain lions, cougars & bears 🤣
Heya Kerry, made it all the way through your video ;) very nice background for some administrative work, ha!
Best regards from an aspiring ultra runner from the Netherlands
Another amazing video and what a race. The only issue is after finding you a week or so ago, I appear to be running out of these ultra long format videos to watch.
I'll see what I can do to rectify that.
Thank you. I’m contemplating signing up. I really needed this. Thanks again
Do it. It is an unforgettable experience.
Jeeeez those spiders were massive, can't imagine trying to push through such a hard ultra AND have to watch out for those (and snakes). Well done!
I actually loved this. I have no idea what this is, but it looks like an awesome experience.
Great video experience. Thank you for sharing your experience's and adventures. I enjoy watching every moment and you inspire me to run!
Great video and narration! I enjoyed it.
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing effort and really good watch. Thank you for helping inspire me
Epic. What a journey.
Great job Kerry! Such an inspiration as always!
Thank you for another Epic Vid
new watcher turned sub right here
Great movie Kerry... living in Sydney (Aus.) it was great seeing Western Australia and had no idea about those giant trees and the treetop walk.. I missed the gold shorts at the finish.. :)
Love your videos! very awesome!
Cool video. I’m an Aussie from the east coast. If you’re ever out this way for a race I’d love to run with you some time. Ultras are always best when you have people to chat to along the way.
Epic journey, thank you very much!
Another great video.
Well done!!!
Great
