Was my professor in college. Took "Advanced Running" that he taught and didn't know what I was getting myself into. The "final" for the class was running a marathon. He wouldn't approve of a road marathon so ran a 50k my junior year. Been a runner ever since! Great experience! Awesome man, glorifies the Lord, and positively influences people.
The BIGGEST lie you can tell yourself is that you're too old for anything. Don't buy into that. Never slow down. Keep pushing for more.
He was tired and said "I need ice cream", so I was tired and went and got ice cream. I cried with him.
I cried with him at the end, it was a great journey, incredible what we can achieve as a human. Great!
I know David from running his Mountain Masochist 50 miler, 3 times(90,91,92 placing 2nd,3rd,4th). He was the race director. His AT FTK(1991) was an incredible feat that started it all. Congratulations on the movie. BTW, this is Dan Landry from Florida.
This is the 4th time I've seen this and I still love it.
I GOT GOOSE BUMPS...
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL N INSPIRATIONAL MOVIE...
A MOVIE OF GRIT AND DETERMINATION....
HUGE RESPECT FROM INDIA 🇮🇳
i m not a backpacker....i m the Runner.....!! ...thats spirit
As elluid kepchoge said NO HUMAN IS LIMITED.....
Respect guys... RESPECT
‘We need people. We need relationships. Without people we’re in trouble.” David Horton 2005. Perfect message right now.
Stunning film xxx
A great film JB, extremely well done. Dr. Horton is an inspiration to us all. Thank you so so much for sharing this documentary with us. It is gold.
Great video! I briefly met Horton on the AT in 2004. He was doing trail maintenance and offered me a soda from his cooler. He had a tremendous amount of energy, humor, and good will for humanity. This was a joy to watch. Congrats David! I also met Brian Robinson on that same hike. He was hiking with Silver Girl. He was a confident and accomplished hiker having already completed his calendar triple crown. Clearly a good guy based on this video. Good stuff!
THIS WAS AMAZING, wow, the story about the palette falling was jarring
I cried, and cried again..So inspiring, really glad I came across this. Thank you for making it available!
Wat a EPIC VIDEO (SHORT FILM)
HUGE RESPECT FROM INDIA 🇮🇳
Great film! Thank you so much for sharing it!
I’m watching this on the eve of my ‘Virtual Marathon’ attempt. My planned marathon was to have been in Paris a week ago and as we all know races have been cancelled all over the world. I live nearby the PCT terminus in British Columbia and have been lucky enough to section hike parts of the trail in Washington State.
I just wanted to say thank you for making such an inspirational running movie. The team effort it took to set the record is something we can all draw strength from right now.
My dad has the same name, and when I saw this David Horton listed as a Barkley finisher I was confused for a sec that maybe my dad had another life I’d never known about! Different guy, but I’ve always enjoyed running and my sister too, so maybe we are distantly related :-)
Ahhh the days of Montrail! Nice job JB! This is so fun to watch. Well done.
Scott McCooper (Crew): I got up that morning when they took off at 4:30, drove 5 hours and got food and started running down towards Stahekan from rainy pass.
David: Just by the lord’s intervention he heard me holler, he met us and gave us food.
Scott is sitting there like.....Ummmm nope that was all me:)
Great video:)
This is a great film. What an amazing man with a beautiful bad ass soul ..Long live the human spirit.
Fabulous journey and a beautiful film. Thank you so much for sharing this
AMAZING.
I was interested in his 91 AT thru hike. I was fortunate to thru hike in 97. On my hike I would always think of a picture of Mr. Horton and Mr. Leonard, if I remember correctly, it was at snowbird. Ty.
That was great!
Thank you JB Benna, perfectly said and Beautifully done. It’s so appropriate that David Horton was instrumental in helping Scott Jurek break the AT FKT in July 2015, if you want to know more about David Horton, read North by Scott Jurek.
ready!
"No, its my money!" to the lady in the drive thru window.
What a teaching moment.... "The less that you have the better off you are"... For in those times, the human-ness of our hearts seeks out its broken-ness...it is there that Almighty God is closest to us.
Incredible.
Amazing film.
Made my day
The man is an unstoppable force, he, and I might say he alone, created a lasting culture of endurance trail running here in my hometown with the Mountain Masochist Trail Race 50(+) miles , Promise Land 50k, Terrapin Mountain Marathon and other races.
I ran them all and really appreciated David's enthusiasm and creativity.
If you work hard in his races and train with him, he will give back to you encouragement and love
Tribute 👍 God bless u...Very inspiring....
A great watch. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing film! Love his commitment to Christ, family and friends! God bless!
What a great documentary and even greater is your faith & reliance in the Lord to help you achieve your goals...PTL!!!
Biggest Snake Ever...I love it!
This guy is really cool. !!!!
Brilliant. Inspiring. Epic. What a Wonderful film. Thank you. And that music . . .
Beautiful. Epic. Fun to watch. The music... less than perfect. Over an hour of the same again and again.
At 11:40, David Horton's answer "I don't either." In Ultrarunning terms that just means "With determination, it will get done." But he is just being nice.
7:45 oh man... 😍😍😍😍
Amen.
Loved it! Great film, great guy. It was inspiring. Most of these running films are. However, I was disappointed when he said he hopes whomever tries to break his record fails! Why would he not encourage someone to go out and smash it?!?
Thought the same thing. Wish success on the world!
He’s obviously a competitive guy - all these runners are. Being protective of a record is normal, and he’s being honest.
I watched this at a Trail Angel's house in 2008 in Southern CA. Anyone else? Randomly I met him on my Tour Divide Ride. He doesn't like rail trails. There is video evidence. ;]
So surprised a teacher would not wish more success on those who follow him. "I get depressed when people break my record." Rx: More prayers? Not working? WWJD?
Your a inspirational man, and your also a hundred percent correct, that we all need Jehovah God to help us in all that we do. 😊
I feel bad for the ultra-family. His wife,"I was hoping that was his last..." nope. Lol
Don't feel badly for his family. Feel badly for David -- having a wife who tells him he's getting too old -- awful.
Wowser
Wow! :>)
Thanks for making available when there’s no Barkley, Boston Marathon, WS100, or Dipsea to watch.
Exactly what I was thinking!
nice film guys, does his record still hold??
No, it has been broken a few times since.

Nips to hips. Taking sips.
He looks like lance Armstrong
As an Ultra distance runner myself - MacLehose trail., UTMB, Wilson Trail, (won quite a few), used to swear on the ol, Montrail's,. However, times move on. Are they the best? Well, I won in them many times. Not so much any more. You decide.
Also, 'Hiking' the PCT with a million dollar support company and running it carrying nothing..
I salute you, but.
I can assure you that it was nowhere close to a million dollars support
I always wondered what happened to Walter White ! ! !
OK, in the first 30 seconds or so of running, none of them seems to be carrying hydration. I thought, WHAT? Then, an edit later, same terrain, they all have bottles. That makes me think that a guy running from Mexico to Canada, actually re-ran a few hundred yards to "get the shot." Am I wrong? As dangerous as the Evolution Creek crossing looked, had they fallen, the far bank was low and accessible and they could have reached it with any kind of swimming ability. Also should have waited until morning, when the melt would have stopped for the night and the water lower. Having said that, great video.
@1:02:53 Bigfoot moving in background from left to right???
does Benna look a little like Dicaprio? lol maybe it's just me.. either way his movies on ultras are the best out there.
How did they know that snake wasn't venomous? They chased it and grabbed it like it was the normal thing to do; they didn't even mind getting bitten by it.
I live in the south, too. If you see a black snake here, you're fine. It's kind of common knowledge.
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan?! That really is a twist
Hi there, I am getting in touch from The Running Channel as we are putting together a second round up video of great Running Documentaries/films. (Link to our first round up: th-cam.com/video/RaKAZqIS9HM/w-d-xo.html) We really enjoyed this film and would potentially love to feature it in our video. Would it be ok for us to use some footage from this film? We would just use short clips (up to 30 seconds) from the film and would link to the film in the description box. My email is sarah@therunningchannel.com if you need any more information or have any questions. Thank you!
This is fine. Thank you.
@@journeyfilm Great, thank you!
Believe in yourself, and amazing achievements can be met.
Don't believe in fairy tales. They are mere entertainment.
He mentioned his god giving him talents, right at the beginning there, immediately I knew he was going to disappoint. What a fool this fella is. I didn’t watch till the end, better things on Tik Tok!
Mountain Masochist class of 1999/2000
Liberty University? Yikes
, ,
needs a warning about flashing or rapidly changing shots at the beginning - just annoying which is no doubt low number of likes compared to views.
the old military panels that were used for the border wall make me laugh.....boy have times changed........
Meh. Seems a bit egotistical. “I hope the next person to try and break my record fails.” That’s kind of a jerk thing to say
Love the film, but the soundtrack is effing horrible!
Thanks, It's actually not a soundtrack it was an original score. Are you a musician? You seem to have a very distinct taste in music given your comments on several of our films.
This is overly religious. Great movie but the religion is over the top and off-putting.... totally ruined it for me
It's part of David Hortons life and what got the guy through it. Without it he wouldn't of made it. Should someone hide part of his story or life because you don't want to see it?
Then don't watch.
I agree. Guess the guys who broke the record must have prayed a little harder. Lol.
Until you’ve find the spiritual epiphany of this kind of accomplishment I’m sure you’ll not understand this kind of acknowledgment of a power greater than oneself. Sempri fi .
meh
Ok so your turn, don't forget to film it whilst beating his attempt
@@sansiveria578 I would never run through the JMT. I'm not a competitive person. I don't care about miles, elevation or speed.
