UNBREAKABLE: The Western States 100 - Feature Film - Limited Release
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มี.ค. 2020
- Unbreakable: The Western States 100 follows the four lead men on this amazing journey. Hal Koerner, two time defending Western States champion, and running store entrepreneur from Ashland, Oregon. Geoff Roes, undefeated at the 100-mile distance, an organic chef from Juneau, Alaska. Anton Krupicka, undefeated in every ultramarathon he has ever started, a graduate student living in Boulder, Colorado. Kilian Jornet, the young mountain runner and two time Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc champion, from Spain.
While their lives may be quite different, the goal is the same: win the Western States 100-mile run. A win will require breaking the course record and running the fastest time in the history of the race. An epic showdown ensues, from Squaw Valley, CA in Lake Tahoe, up though the high snow covered Sierra Nevada Mountains, down through the extreme heat of the American River Canyons and finishing in Auburn, CA.
Though all four are undefeated, three must break and only one can remain Unbreakable.

This is quite possibly the best ultra film out there. The shots, the story, the athletes. One in a million chance of it all coming together like it did, and what a result. Thanks JB and J for posting this!

I take exception with your use of the words quite and possibly otherwise I totally agree with your comment coach
I agree, man this is a masterpiece. The story, soundtrack, the guys,...epic.
My son Fabian participated in this 2010 race, I was his 1 man support team. We traveled on a shoe string budget from New Jersey. He finished 28 hours at age 17, in his Senior Year @ Annapolis. So proud, we had so much fun!!!
As a dad, your comment made me teary. What an awesome father son experience
Congratulations! Wow!🎉🎉🎉
that`s a rock solid performance, congrats!
I had not heard of ultras before this film appeared in my TH-cam feed about 3 years ago. At that time I was 100 kgs and had only ever been running for football back in my youth. This film inspired me to pick myself up,stop eating crappy food and to get out and run regularly. Since then I have ran 1 marathon, 6 halfs. And several shorter races. I am currently preparing for Berlin marathon this Autumn. And I'm not certain that any if this would have happened if not for this film. Thank you Anton Krupicka, geoff Roes and killian jornet for the participation in this amazing piece of ultra folklore
i just took a quick look at kilians wins in the last 10 years and i legit broke my chair from falling back
Gordy Ainsleigh : "I could still take one more step, so I decided to take one more step until I could no longer take one more step" this is gold.
Not an Ultra, not even a runner. But I am a fan of people. This was a great way to spend two hours.
It's incredible how in the space of ten years the sport has changed so much. It no longer feels like a frontier, the domain only of eccentrics. Nowadays to have 4 strong runners at WS100 would be considered an extremely shallow field. We owe a great deal to the folks who pioneered ultrarunning and got it to where it is today.
Edward Scott I ran
western States in 1987. Talk about the good old days. Hopefully running Leadville in August at 60. This was my first 100 and trail race.
chubbyurma I am so looking forward to that! It’s like a step up in our evolution!
@tahoemist98 Not sure you understood me - I'm saying that to have ONLY four strong runners would be rare. There are so many strong runners about now.
I have a friend who told me about Ultra's about 10 years ago and I remember thinking he was crazy. But then he did the Ironman with a bone spur, after not being able to do the ironman because of a broken clavicle. I became a believer in the human will then. No, it doesn't seem crazy or eccentric anymore, it just seems awesome and possible.
At 48:16 when Kilian darts off down the trail it is as Anton said, "... he just bounds down the switchback like an antelope..." Wow!
Gordy Ainsleigh crossing the finish line damn near brought me too tears.
Oh if you want to cry, search "Gunhild Swanson" s finish!!! She set the record for Women 70-75
Now that the sport has become incredibly popular, why can’t anyone make a documentary about it as good as this?
We need more full length running films!
Agree!!! PLeeease more if possible
Completely agree 👍
SO true! we definitely do!
Without the coverage of the actual race being regularly interupted for interviews - I gave up watching at 45 mins
@@amblincork The right arrow key, just to the left of the PgDn key on my computer works wonderfully for scrolling forward.
This documentary got me into running at 40 years old... what an inspiration
Are you still running at 42??
@@smokeymcpot69 yes I am! 😉
I'm about to start at 51
Questo documento mi aiuta a correre ancora dopo 35 anni😂
whenever i need motivation before a race i always come back to this one. this is the best running film hands down
The way Kilian just bounds down that mountain - majestic. What a talent.
It's almost supernatural!
Well, he’s got youth in his side back then. And still is. 😃
@@kssrider6766 nah he has 4 lungs
And I loved the way Tony appreciates it. Calls it one of the most beautiful things he’s ever seen in mountain running.
@@kssrider6766He's still like that at 38!
These four men are legendary, not just for their running. Seeing them interact with others is inspiring......such good people
What an amazing film about running. The music, the stories of each runner, the way the race unfolded, and Gordy's nuggets... brilliance!
Years ago this movie was my intro to the sport. Most of my friends are now from this community. Really grateful to the people involved in the making of this beautiful film.
Well, again, I find myself watching this amazing film. I don't even count the times I've watched it anymore but every damn time it gives me more inspiration. It's just freaking beautiful. Thank you so much to all of you who made this film and this event possible. ❤🙏
Thank you for putting the whole thing on here for free - much needed distraction from corona
I like the fact that Anton runs with a dress shirt ! Who needs all those Hi-tech t-shirts anyway ! :P
The idea of running WS100 in a dress shirt goes back to Mike Catlin, who won in 1979 and 1980. I recall a training clinic that he led, and one of us noobs asked him what kind of flashlight he carries... he famously responded "I plan to be finished before it gets dark". I always carried a flashlight!
I ran WS100 this year. Harder than it looks! Finished in 27:40... TWELVE hours behind those guys 😜 Thx for making this available again... brought back a lot of great memories.
Hey, you finished! I can barely get through a road marathon, so big respect for you.
Congrats bro! Me only get to run 10km
Much respect. I will always be a 5k runner with an occasional marathon here and there. Running saved me in so many ways.
My grandpa was feed bad chicken noodle soup and got sick and only had 25 miles left.... I’m glad that you finished and what an amazing memory that you can look back at.
Congrates bro best wishesh for next year i hope you gonna complete faster next time and share your experience with us
Waw 12 years ago!
Kilian Jornet now is a Beast. He just won UTMB.
Only Anton can stroll through the mountain rocking a nice button down shirt on!!! Great production!
Best 100 miler film I've seen thus far. The emotions, the backstories. I have attempted 9, 100 miler races so far. 1 win, 3 finishes, 5 DNFs. And the DNFs were all piled right into the middle. It went bad for a long time before it started going better. This video perfectly describes how it is out on the trails. Its never over until its over.
The GOAT running documentary. Unbelievable emotions captured!
Holy Smokes!!! Hard to believe how much has changed since then. It was fun to see how casual and "non technical" ultra running was back then. It makes today's ultra world look so high tech and professional.
Great movie for runners during "social distancing" Covid19times
10 years later and Killian is the best Ultra runner in the world.
**still the best...
Wait, what was Jornet's WS100 time Vs Jim Walsmley's time?
@@TirnanHealy julian?
@@flurrygriersoni think I combined his first name and his surname, sorry I had a few beers 😂
States is too flat for Kilian
just getting back into running... searched for running documentaries and came across this. Although I may never run 100 miles, I found this to be so inspiring. Fantastic documentary!
I got goosebumps at the end. What a race/documentary. To see Anton and Jeff embrace at the end is what sports is all about. Chapeau to everyone involved with this fantastic event.
Very cool! Made me want to go run 100 miles... after the first mile I collapsed from exhaustion
seeing kilian being kind of the "young outsider" is so funny
Yes!!! Such grace always
Back in the good old days when we still could race with more than 10 people.
Ahh the good old days of last week when we could still run with 10 people
Ahhh back in the good old day when we could go out
And when a 100 miler wasnt $500.
@@kdrguru $500? get outta here
That was a really fun watch, many thanks for making it available! Many commented on the progress in the span of 10 years, in terms of film technology or competition. I would add that I’m so so glad, watching today's Golden Trail series for instance, that women are no longer side characters and are now fully part of the fun :-))
One of the best 100 mile docs..
A classic!
"Today more than 2000 people qualify"
Ahh, the good ole days
You and Billy Yang should work together. This is once of the best documentaries I have ever seen. I am so fascinated by the 100 miler and the people who run it. What these runners can do is as amazing to me as someone sprinting for 26.2 miles for 2 hours. Simply, amazing.
After 10 years, Anton still looks stylish
Right?! He was on the cover of my first issue of "Ultrarunning" magazine!
I'm so excited and passionate about all the passion and excitement.
Remember being pumped getting this on DVD shortly after reading Born to Run, the soundtrack on this gem is amazing M83 is my finishing song to every run/race back in the day! Very few excellent running documentaries when this was around, prior to this it was Without Limits from 1998 till this came out!
Still the best running movie after all these years, absolute perfection
Former Endurance Mountain Bike racer. The 2 secrets to carrying a backpack bladder are choose the smallest size you need and most importantly, remove *ALL* the air from the bladder before inserting in backpack. Stay healthy, Everyone! 👍🏼
Thanks JB and Jennifer, I think most of us have this film on dvd, but a great gesture to allow us all to see again.
"People probably underestimate Kilian..." Scott Jurek
Nice...to Endure is a gift.................................................To meet Killians Mother was...an inspiration in its self. Thnx for sharing. Happy Trails to us all.
AMAZING!
Very surprised to see Killian on 22´s at his first America race = )
I’m not even a trail runner and this film gets to me every time I watch it, which is a lot in the last year. Four different characters, all with a shot of winning, a brilliant documentary. You gotta love Anton’s style so what if there is snow, it’s no shirt all the way!
Thanks Journeyfilm for putting on TH-cam. I've bought it and watched it about 50 times, but now I can watch it on the big screen! Best running movie ever
Thank you posting the full length feature! That period of ultras is the reason a lot of us got started on the trails. Geoff was on another planet during those days, because Tony was primed to win that sucker. Nobody was training like TK at the time. I find it funny that people are still offended by his simplistic approach and lack of gear & nutrition. He trained and raced like there was no tomorrow. He has some regrets about the way he trained, but it was and still is legendary. Kilian is Kilian. The best to ever do it.
What a genuine human being Zach appears to be. Perfect film for these times. Well done!
Thank you so much for releasing this for free. I kept looking at the DVD price and just couldn't afford it to the UK.
Oh man, you cant imagine what that video means to me. What did I just see? 6:07 You know I have read Born to run and especially Eat and run many times. So I can recognize Gordy's name. But I thought he is not real :D I mean, for me he was like a name from history book.
I cant believe he is real, alive and still runs. What a pleasure.
THANK YOU.
Not only is Killian an amazing runner, he skips between Spanish, catalán, French And English effortlessly. Unreal
Not Unreal just... European.
@@ChivasBarcelonaMex I suppose that's true. Although I'm European (UK) and can only speak English and Spanish. The English are the worst Europeans for language though
It’s also cool how much his English has improved in the intervening years since then.
Watching because it's western states again this weekend....and far out things have changed since then. Crazy seeing Killian looking so young, and the quality of trail running has only gone up since then.
kilian brought me here, and yes ofc I'm in lockdown
Love this movie! Purchased it when it came out and it still holds up today. To me it was the golden age of Ultra running!
Hey Journeyfilm, thx so much for posting this on TH-cam! I bought this movie on DVD from you right after it came out and because I no longer have a DVD player have not been able to view it...its been a real bummer! So THANK YOU for thinking of all of us and helping us stay motivated to get out and get our miles in on the trails while the rest of our time is spent in the house. Really, really appreciate your generosity with this amazing documentary!
*ichigan sucks, Go Bucks!!! ;)
Really an awesome historical documentary. Being a nobody solo trail runner, its refreshing to see that some of the elites in the sport are not much different than I, except they run much faster !
So glad you've up'd this! I let a colleague borrow my DVD years ago and he left the country with it and never came back. Bastard!!! Thanks guys
Finally! Kudos for releasing here. What a great movie!
One of the best ultra documentaries I've seen!
"I'm gonna win the race"
Famous last words.
Once dude said he'd never run it b4 I was like yeah no. You're not winning anything. Half of hiking running is just mentally having a map in your mind... it is like your mind psychically prepares your body for what comes next and you can just go on auto pilot. If you're taking it in and trying to perform. Thats just too much brain juice burning up energy to get into that zen mode.
i cannot fathom how Anton ran this race barechested with no hat/visor/sunglasses/protective clothing. Just the sun beating on him for 10-12 straight hours.
This is a great film. However, to claim that modern ultra distance trail running was invented in 1974 is just ludicrous.
Thanks for the release, I appreciated a lot to see this "old" yet truly epic race : last and amazing exploit of Anton in racing, the first European attempt to win, the very beginning of ultra trail running internationalization... and a miracle from Geoff
What actually changed besides booty shorts of kilian ? The heat management improved, Kilian brought the slab sens out of it, the West Coast pack has become much more international. And today it sounds so weird to "introduce" UTMB (21'50), to consider 2000 applicant a lot ...
A decade later, Geoff is still wining but Kilian has just taken mountain running to another dimension. Tony pushes less competitive more hybrid directions of high interest and Joe Grant crushed the Nolan's in the purest style.
Except for lotteries and overcrowded european races I must say our little world has very well developped.
Thank you so much for making this available on youtube. This is a testament to our sport.
From watching this feature film, I couldn’t help but notice how far video footages have come since this race was held. Those footages that were following the runners were shaky and bouncing around. Now, the shots are so silky smooth thanks to improved image stabilization technology and gimbals. And the aerial shot of Kilian running on the mountain initially had me thinking it was captured by a drone. Then I realized that there was no drone for video capturing back then, at least not that I know of. It’s just amazing how video technology has come this far and will be getting even better as the days go by. Unlike a closed circuit race track where we only need a few cameras at strategic locations, ultra trail running does not allow us this ability. I would have loved to watch the part where Geoff overtook Anton, or see how runners tackle certain sections of the course which are not easily accessible by camera carrying crew. Anyway, good job for putting together a motivational movie during this stay at home period. Thank you!!!
Check out Billy Yang Films, Run Steep Get High, Seth James DeMoor among others for amazing Ultra Running/motivational running videos. You won't be disappointed!
Yeah, no GoPros, no Gimbal stabilization, no DSLRs, no drones. We had 10 lb cameras and had to actually change tapes while running 6 min pace on a rugged trail downhill following these guys. It is a totally different production environment today than 10 years ago.
journeyfilm ••••• much respect to the dedicated cameramen and camerawomen of that era.
Today mountain bike,gopros on runners and drones are combined at utmb to film the leaders close to non stop... soon without helicopters...
This film was a feat of outdoor filmmaking in 2010 and remains a top reference congrats !
Kudos to all the runners and the producers of this marvelous film. As an old man and a former marathon racer, it makes me seriously rethink going back to racing again. Well done to all and thanks for such a great inspirational video.
Cheers from Philly
So good. This is the movie that got me into trail running!......well the trailer anyway, saw it in 2011 and didn't watch the movie until two weeks before my first ultra in 2015
Wow. The best trail film I've seen. That was so amazing. Incredible work.
Anton Krupica looks totally free. He runs in running shorts and a plaid button up shirt with long hair.
He looks like a homeless 😄
Very good coverage of Kilian Jornet about his early running career. (ultra-oriented)
Thank you so much for showing us the background of so many pillars of our sport. Especially for the whole Gordy Ansleigh story. Awesome to hear it straight from the horse's mouth
I couldn't recover from when Ansleigh was like, "Would trail running have been invented if it wasn't for me? Who knows?" What a blowhard thing to say. Yeah dude, you invented running on non-paved surfaces. Sure.
commbir he did invent this sport though. That’s why Western States is the oldest trail ultra. I won’t even try to speculate on TH-cam why this particular run of his was the catalyst of such a large movement, but it was. Does he have some pride? Probably. We all do. And I don’t wasn’t to be caught pulling the splinter out of another’s man eye before pulling the log out of my own. If having some pride means people shouldn’t like us, we’d all be without friends. So I’ll give him some respect, understanding he did invent my sport (at least in America, where I live), but I’ve got too much sin in my life to be willing to ridicule him for his
@@jeffostlind6225 Are you showing a little too much pride here but confusing it for righteousness maybe? Or does it not count if you're preaching? We can have a battle of Jesus quotes all day if you like. "Do unto others." I would definitely want someone to say something to me if I was arrogant and self-aggrandizing. I reject this idea that we can't ask others to change their behaviors just because we ourselves aren't perfect.
commbir I just said I was prideful. So call it righteous or call it sin. But yeah I want to be less prideful. I’m not trying to toss Bible references around here. Just trying to explain my stance on the matter. Since you shared your opinion in a reply to my post (indicating the start of a conversation), I thought I also would share my opinion with you. I’m only explaining where I’m at personally on the matter
@@jeffostlind6225 Sorry to disappoint but he didn't invent the sport. That is utter BS. There were mountain ultra trail races long long before. Even more so, he wasn't the first to run the Western States course the first time. There was a group of army man who first completed the 100 miler two years before he did. The sad thing is that Gordon has not been willing to acknowledge that.
I have been wanting to see this for ages, thanks for putting it up to help the isolation!
Just now running across this masterpiece! It's amazing!
so happy they put this on TH-cam! Best movie ever!!!
How many youtubers have been inspired by this film! A fantastic watch
Next time you watch this race, think to yourself, you are watching people live out their dreams. It’s pretty incredible. Im gonna chase my dreams and I hope you chase yours. See you at WSER🌄
Jim Walmsley won this year's race in 14:13. Unreal how far the sport has come and progressed. Katie Shide ran sub 16 for first female!
Cool to see a young Nick Hollon (Barkley finisher in 2013) there meeting Kilian before the race
1 Million Views - Congratulations!
Very well deserved, probably the best movie out there on ultrarunning, only to be rivaled by The Race That Eats its Young.
I love the random fraction of a second seen with what looks like a very large cat just chilling on the roof of a nearby building. @10:26
Listening to this while at work power walking
Absolutely love this documentary!! I’ve watched it now 4 times..the first time started listening to it on on a long run. Had to play agin so I could ‘see’ it!
Inspirational, fascinating, entertaining, well done! Completely fell in love w each character’s personal passion for running… a familiar love for myself. Great film!! Sincere thank you!
🎉❤🏃♂️🏃♀️✅
I love the backstories for all the runners!
I can’t smash the like button enough times!
Killian: Here the trails are very flat.
xD I died
well 6000m of elevation for 170km is quite flat compared to what we have in europe
@tahoemist98 sure ! The heat is another great challenge !
Come to the uk...we’ll show you all the flat you need!
Excellent film made with grit and heart! Thank you for making it available here 💛
I've watched this probably over 20 times by now. Never gets old.
Just did my fist albeit short ultra (34 miles) can’t wait to step it up to 50 and beyond. I can’t wait to see what this sport has in store for me
Pretty awesome. Not a long distance runner, ran one marathon and will never do that again, but this was totally inspiring.
Seeing Gary Robbins with no beard makes me feel weird.....
Which part?
