highly recommended

ultra- cool

I never knew much about ulta races, the longest I ever raced was 10K but after seeing a north face ad in runner's world I thought how cool a person could run that long!...there was lots to read about ultra racing but nothing to watch, this was interesting, I'm motivated to try my hand at a marathon, it seems like small peanuts compared to ultra marathons.This film was interesting a real testament to what human's are capable of.

Outstanding Movie

The stories are awesome by themselves but the producers did a great job of putting them together for the video. I was interested, inspired and motivated from watching this DVD. I wish they would put together more of them on different races and racers. A must see! There was plenty of the trials and tribulations that the runners they followed went through, in their training, personal lives and throughout the race.

Un documental imprescindible para Ultrarunners

El documental muestra la dureza de esta prueba y hasta donde es capaz de soportar el cuerpo humano y la mente. Es increible ver como aguantan dia y noche en carrera, soportando temperaturas extremas, viento y desniveles. Se muestra sin escrupulos la fatiga, las ampollas, el agotamiento. Para mí, que he participado en varios Ultras, es una pelicula que cualquiera que se adentre en este mundo debería ver. Es un ejemplo de tesón y de corage ver a dos corredores, con protesis ortopedicas de pierna y brazo, conseguir llegar a meta. Os la recomiendo.

Almost as good as doing the event

I have watched this DVD over and over again. While it doesn't have many of the races superstar's, such as Dean Karnasez, the stories are just as compelling.
Highly recommend for anyone who wanders what's it's like to be obsessed.

Well done documentary

If you love running, you'll love these videos. These people are fanatics. It's a well-done documentary. It moves well, asks the right questions, and it shows the suffering and achievement involved in such a race. Very, very well done. It's pretty much never boring, even for non-runners, who get to sit around and marvel that anyone would do such a thing.

It's about the 1999 Badwater 135, the 135 mile run through Death Valley that happens every summer. It's not real long, but it's long enough to be interesting.

If moral things are an issue to you, like to me, then there's one old guy (the delivery guy who runs 20 miles plus three times a week) whose talking I always fast forward out because of cussing and crude comments. Other than that, it's pretty clean.

There's also no chapters, which is pretty irritating for a DVD. You have to fast forward or rewind to get anywhere you want to go like it's a video cassette.
