Speaker
Brendan Leonard:
Filmmaker and writer Brendan Leonard never considered himself a runner, and definitely not an ultrarunner. But a few years ago, he entered his first race, and found that ultramarathons have a lot in common with work—which he’s no stranger to. In 2017, he entered his first 100-mile race along with his friend Jayson Sime, and their experience became the film How to Run 100 Miles.

Films
Aziza:
Set in the streets of Bou Tharar and the wide, craggy valleys of the lower Atlas mountains of Morocco, ‘Aziza’ is the story of a young woman who has thrived in the world of ultra-racing.

How To Run 100 Miles:
The odds were stacked against Jayson Sime early in life: poverty, homelessness, dyslexia, bullying. But he fought his way to a successful career as a political organizer. In 2017, he entered his first 100-mile race, betting on his resilience to get him through.

The Middle Way:
On July 26, Joe Grant set off from his home in Gold Hill, Colorado to attempt to summit all 57 of Colorado's 14000ft summits. Self-powered and self-supported Joe took just over 31 days to bike and run to all the summits, ascending over 100000ft during the runs and cycling over 1400 miles.

Wolfpack:
The Braford-Lefebvre family chose to live in Silverton, Colorado in order to raise their family wild. Through hard times and the best ones, running is their tool for experiencing life together.
