The Moab 240, a foot race that starts and finishes in Moab, Utah. This would be my longest race to date in terms of distance, but I'd hope it would be my fastest 200+ mile race as well. And as the race progressed, my aspirations continued to grow.

    I think I'm going to watch this one while wearing my hydration vest, a handful of gels and about a litre of sunscreen on my face. Just to be on the safe side.
  • @Alyssa684
    My husband wanted to watch the premiere with me and I said “careful, watching Jeff is a slippery slope to running ultras”
  • This is the benchmark in documenting a single person’s long-distance run. The bar is sitting quite high now. Thanks for all the hard work!
  • Without any exaggeration: this is a masterpiece in cinematography and storytelling. And a real nailbiter in the end. Thanks, Jeff!
  • @lindar5745
    "Why did he try to win??" 😂😂 Probably your best film yet. Outstanding all around. Congrats Jeff! I'm so thankful for all you share with us.
  • @gregorybeben6682
    What amazed me the most about this race was that you were working so hard to catch Jesse at the end, but you kept filming. To divert any energy like that at the end of such a hard race and when you were so close, it really shows your dedication to your craft. You are truly admirable! And what a great job Audree does also!
  • Two life lessons here. You're stronger than you think you are. Surround yourself with people who love you.
  • @ThomasLaang
    Best part of ultra running is that everyone is a winner. 😊
  • @mollymelena6104
    All of a sudden, marathons seem so mundane....😂 Pacer: "I was only in it for 30 miles." Me: "OMG!!!"
  • @guzsteve
    Don’t know if this dude is a great filmmaker who runs or a runner who makes great films!
  • @danprice88
    The thing is Jeff looks alive as if he could go another 50 others look in pain. What a Incredible achievement not only 1st 2nd or 3rd every single person who is crazy enough to even book a distance so great congratulations Jeff your work is on another level 👏
  • @jasonstapley5512
    "B*tched in a forward direction" 🤣New favourite mantra for (and summary of) ultras. Great film, amazing to see everything that went into it behind the scenes as always, including all of the help from Audree and the pacers. Congrats on an amazing performance Jeff!
  • @philihc
    "It's good to finally meet you" best line
  • @user-hk7ol9ls1e
    You make ultras look so easy. What a spectacular place to run. How do you resist stopping for such beauty. Only just started running again after loss of my husband of 55 yrs. Helps to improve my everyday daily mood elevation and I feel so much stronger. Watching the joy you have for running elevates my spirits
  • I will prepare my TV and treadmill in front of it. I will join your MOAB race, Jeff.
  • @RangeMcrangeface
    I am not familiar, until now, with these incredible races and what stopped me in my tracks was the phrase, “the hallucinations have started earlier than in the past”. Badass people and their teams! The documentary was compelling and inspiring!
  • I was crying happy tears and hollering for first, that was amazing determination. Be proud. Your wife and crew rocks
  • @jimduyck
    You know it’s some amazing storytelling and cinematography when your seven year old wanders in and ends up sitting down to watch the last 3/4 of this! 🤣👌
  • Hello Jeff, I have done some challenging things in my life so far like rock climbing up to grade 30, surfing large waves with sharks circling underneath, being chased out of the ocean while spear fishing by a 12 foot long shark, walking into the Simpson desert solo with my dingo cross ridgeback dog and going through CML ( chronic myeloid leukaemia ) and surviving, but mate you are one of the toughest people I have ever had the privilege to watch and to see you just keep getting better and better as you faced your challenge. A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to you and to all of those amazing runners who competed and incredible people that helped make that race possible. Absolutely fantastic videography. Your are BRILLIANT Cheers Wylie
