- Bigger Than Yourself: A Leadville 100 Story is a story about teamwork, and what it takes to finish the iconic Leadville 100 Trail Run. Leadville is a high altitude 100 miler, that takes grit, guts, and determination to finish. However, I think it takes more than that. It takes a team of great people willing to sacrifice their time to help you achieve a goal. Join us on the journey called the Leadville 100 Run.

Dang !! Solid job for you and the crew. You asked God for help and blessings, you we’re thankful for your gift of being there and the privilege it is. You noted the hardships before the race of give and take with the family, you acknowledged the hardship of the actual race regardless of time. SK and family this is real stuff for regular people who do hard things. Good for you and thank you for taking us along on the journey. I’m encouraged by your work at your craft. I learned some good things here. Whoop!!
Wow thank you so much!

Two things I’ve learned from this video and admire. You are a Veteran. I’m active duty, so i truly thank you for your service. Your willingness to show your faith by praying in your video, is exactly what we are called to do. Thank you for that.
Thank you, Taylor! Thank you for your service as well!
Great video, great job on the run, super inspirational!
Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for the Leadville 100 documentaries to come out this year!! I love watching them.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy!
Those ultra documentaries always make me appreciate the crews, support teams and volunteers during those events. Beautiful community!
It is such a great community!
This was absolutely everything I have been waiting for to watch on CZcams in a long time and I did not skip 1 second of this documentary. What an amazing crew who supported you along the way and helped you pushed through all the way to the finish line! You crushed Leadville brother. Thank you for taking us along the journey with you. Congratulations! 🙌🏼
Wow, thank you so much!
Great Video!!! Running Leadville this year as my first 100!! Nervous, excited and inspired by your video. Thank you for your service - 3/75 RLTW Sir
Awesome! Just train for long sustained climbs and get to altitude if you can. Thanks, and thank you too! Hooah
@@UltraTrailSteven thanks for the advice!!!
Billy Yangs "The Why" has had such a profound impact on my tral running adventure.... what a cool reference and I'm sure its impacted many people positively too. Legendary. Awesome vid, truly inspirational and humbling. Massive respect🙌
Thank you! “The Why” is what got me hooked as well!
@UltraTrailSteven Awesomeness🙌 Much respect, appreciation and wishing you all a happy, prosperous and healthy 2024🙌
thank you for posting this. didn’t realize I needed it tonight.
i just ran my first race ever, the erie presque isle marathon last weekend. it was one of the most incredible experiences i have ever had. i don’t really have anybody. i went by myself. seeing this hits. im going to need a pit crew in order to go 100 miles. it was difficult enough not having anyone to hand my draw string backpack to during the race. (rope rubs… learned my lesson)
its the simple things we as people take for granted. having a support network. people there to help.
i am grateful to have found the running community. you people are incredible. complete strangers were some of the kindest individuals I’ve ever met. i want to do this someday. thank you so much for sharing your experience. it means the world to those of us who are stuck in life.
peace and love 💛
So glad you enjoyed the film! Good luck in your journey and enjoy the process!
Great Video! Awesome to follow you through the journey!
Thank you!
Wow!! You are an inspiration! I'm 70 years old but I still have dreams of running Leadville. Keep doing it!
Thank you!
AMAZING! Such a great film and you ran great! Loved watching the whole story unfold.
Thanks so much!
Congrats to you and your team! A finish at Leadville is never a given - so you should be proud!
Thank you, Russell!
Awesome crew team!
Thank you! I am very blessed to have such a great team!
Way to stay strong 💪💪💪
Thank you!
Ooh been looking forward to your video!
Enjoy!
Great job on the race 😀 love the video. The part where Steven emphasizes ‘bring this bag to every aid station’ was exactly what i told my crew in one of my first hundreds - “bring this green bag to every aid station”, first aid station 16 miles in, “where my green bag?” “Its in truck , ill go get it” 🤪😆🏃♂️🏃♂️
Thank you! Oh no! Lol that’s insane!
“Culmination” Steven, it all added up to this moment. Great doc, loved every minute of it. All the best to you and the crew on recovery!
Thank you so much!
Oh man, what a trip!! Congrats Steven. Appreciate the opportunity to follow you on the journey and through this race. Love seeing you dig deep and get that buckle! Wonderfully told story that had me in tears at the finish line. Thank you!!
And for my money, one of the best Leadville videos I’ve seen congrats on that, too!!
Thank you so much for the support Chad!
Thanks for the chance to follow your journey, the highs and struggles and the team efforts supporting you. Congratulations to you and your enthusiastic crew!
Thank you so much!
Yo Steven & Crew....what a great race and video! Your merch looks dope too...my name is Steven so it would be appropriate!
Thank you so much! Nice!
Excellent! Great race and a great video. Thanks for being a fellow Veteran to you and your wife.
Thank you!
That bit with Sally 😂 so fun and awesome!! Awesome job Steven! Great job!!
Glad you liked it!! Thank you
Congratulations on a stong finish! What a great documentary, amazing storytelling. Thank you for taking us along on your journey! 🤙
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
Great presentation! Congrats.
Thank you!
Finally - viral! Happy for your about the race and also your channel, Steven. Keep on truckin'!!
Haha thanks Sam!
I didn’t get to pace Leadville this year and this really makes me miss it.
There's always next year!
@@UltraTrailSteven I think he is trying again in 2025. But maybe I just go to Twin Lakes next year and cheer!!!
Very inspiring. Love the way everyone came to together to help you get through it. Also very much liked the prayer with your crew.
Thank you so much! It was definitely a team effort!
Wonderful wonderful race congratulations 💯❤️❤️❤️ great video so inspirational 🙏🙏 beautiful family loved your journey in life 💫💫💫
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible- the race AND the documentary!! Congratulations on a hard won finish! Watching you push through the challenges makes me want to sign up for something epic right now! 😂I've been watching your channel grow the last 3 years, and I feel like this race, and this movie, are the start of a new chapter for you. And of course, a big fist bump to the incredible crew, and to the crew who gave you salt tabs... a great representation of the ultra community. I also saw one of my other favorite ultra CZcamsrs behind you at the water crossing, On The Trails With Simon. He might have been Mario at the start, too. 😂 Congrats again, I can't wait to see where you go from here... Western States, perhaps??
Thank you, Kelly! You are a UTS OG! haha. Thanks for the constant support. The ultra community is amazing. Yes I ran with Simon for just a bit. He was in the video a couple of times. YES! Hopefully Western States is next!
So awesome. Congrats. Love the videos
Thank you!
Wow!
Thanks!
Wow just wow... amazing effort... inspiring... makes me want to do lead illegal all the way from the UK... well done.
Thank you! There were 24 countries represented at this years Leadville
Great video! Congratulations 😊
Thank you!
Wow man!! That was awesome !!
Thanks for all the work you and your family put in too these videos
It's much appreciated 😊
I'm in NZ and I doubt Ill ever get to see Leadville
Just got my 6 month notification for the Tarawera 100
So pumped for what lies ahead
Thank you so much! Enjoy the training!
Congratulations - both on the documentary and, of course, your finish. Crushed it 👊🏻
Thank you!
Ft. Benning! The old Army folks will know Sand Hill 🇺🇸
Fantastic video! Congrats
That's where I went to Basic Training! 1-329! Maddogs! Hooah!
Thanks!
@@UltraTrailSteven I was Delta 3-47 back in 2006. Every day was a smoke session
@@mtnrnnr50 I was Delta as well. I remember the Shark Attack well lol. Seemed to carry on all class 😆
So satisfying to watch you and your team pull this off. Amazing work all around. I'm hoping my story is like Collin. I've been OBSESSED with getting back after the DNF. Give Lee a smooch for us and on to the next one!
Thank you! You will get it! Stay after it!
Congrats Steven! I have not watched many Leadville videos before, so I enjoyed learning the course from you. Well done!!
Thank you very much!
That is awesome and hard work, very proud of you, your uncle Perry.
Thank you, Perry!
Great video! Well done!
Thank you very much, Amanda!
Steve this is fantastic!! Congrats on a well ran race, not to mention an amazing film of it.
Thank you, Jason!
Congratulations!!! An awesome chapter in your book of life!
Thank you!
Congratulations great stuff awesome crew. Would love to see a follow up video on preparation, training, kind of a retrospect and where you could make improvements etc.. Amazing video. I would’ve to see how your recovery went.
I have a whole series documenting the training buildup, logistics, and quite a bit more. It was 16 weeks long. It’s called Training For LEADVILLE
Great job and well done, this is going to go down as a classic leadville 100 video!
Wow thank you!!
Well done, Steven! I've been a fan for many years. A very nice video. If you can ever get out to Europe to race, let's see if we can meet. Of course, I might get into WS100 soon (one day!), so I'll be going over to the USA!
Thank you! Sounds like a plan.
This doc is so well done. Every aspect of what it takes to run this race came through. Well done to you and the crew!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
Hooah, Steven. Thank you for sharing this adventure and congratulations for completing this epic achievement. Seeing the struggle and perseverance is way more valuable for many like me, than seeing world records get set. I hope to be able to someday endure the countless hours, days, weeks, months and years of hard work you put in when nobody was watching, clapping and cheering you on. Thank you for motivating me to keep working. I'll train hard today thinking of this video.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support!
Wow!! Just few mins in. Thank you for documenting the race and sharing with us❤
Thank you so much for watching!
This was awesome!!!! Thank you for taking the time to bring us along on this journey. Huge props to the crew and all the volunteers!!! Not gonna lie, it brought some tears to my eye seeing you cross that line brotha! "Welcome home"
Glad you enjoyed it! It still makes me tear up too! Thanks man!
Very inspiring, Steven. Great strong work!! Congrats to you and the crew
Thank you, Theja!
Thanks!
Wow thanks!
@@UltraTrailSteven have you considered starting a membership/community/whatever it’s called? I subscribe to a few, JeffPelletier and SeeChadRun as examples, and find it incredibly worthwhile. I’d happily subscribe to your channel, in a heartbeat!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
@@UltraTrailSteven it’s great seeing other busy husbands and fathers doing amazing feats. Leadville is on my bucket list (if I get lucky in the lottery draw!). We don’t have races quite like that here in Illinois.
@@PrimalRyan79 Keeping on grinding! Team Dadbod unit! HAHA
@@UltraTrailSteven 👊
Thank you for sharing your race. This has given me the inspiration to walk up to that Leadville line once again, as last time the cutoff was faster than I the second time I hit Twin Lakes. Keep doing what you do, your videos evoke feelings that can change peoples lives.
Thank you so much!
What a great story. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Here's to many great adventures ahead!
Thank you so much!
Great video Steven and congrats to you and such a wonderful crew. Thanks also for your service.
Thank you, Mitch!
I’m not crying, you’re crying😂🤪way to go Steven❤️
HAHA thank you!
Great job on the race and video, Steven! It's really nice to see more content of races from the "average man". Not that you're average! Keep on keeping on!
Thank you!
Great video. I've been dreaming of Leadville since being introduced to trail running in 2015. Super inspiring, I'm excited :)
Thanks! It is a fantastic race!
Congrats Man! have followed the "series" from the beginning! Great footage as well! Again, well done!
Thank you so much!
Super inspirational. I'm training for my first trail marathon and these videos do a lot for my confidence to get out there!
Awesome, Josh! Good luck in your training!
Nice job man! You made it look easy! You're crew was johnny on the spot! Kudos to them! I've never run an ultra just some halfs and full marathons and a couple of Ironman triathlons. I've been sidelined from running for the last year and a half due to a stubborn case of plantar fasciitis, but it feels like it's almost back to normal. There might be an ultra in my future!? Also nice job on the film! It reminds me of a Billy Yang docu!
Thank you so much; I really appreciate it! Yes, my crew is the best! I wish you the best as you get back to running soon!
Congrats on the run and all round team effort!
Thanks!
Great documentary man! Awesome stuff
Much appreciated!
Great job, love Leadville!
Thank you, Clint!
Amazing! Been a big fan of your channel and the journey. Thanks for sharing it with us all to see.
Thank you!
Great story! Really enjoyed watching your journey. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome! That was great! Good job!
Thank you!
An awesome video! Wow, what a great race! Way to push through and continue to do hard things. So proud of you!❤
Thank you!
loved every second of this. Congratulations
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!
Felicitaciones!!!! Muy inspirador para los que nos gusta este tipo de desafíos ... Adelante !!!!
Thank you!
Awesome documentary, one of the best I’ve seen! Great job to you and your crew!!🎉
Wow, thank you so much!
Massive congratulations on the race. And amazing job on the video.
Thank you!
What an amazing documentary! Kudos on the film and congratulations to you and your team for finishing the race!
Thank you so much!
Epic, brother! Congrats on “diggin deep” and getting that buckle
Thank you!
Congratulations on your finish Steven!
Thank you!
so freaking awesome man.. congrats!
Thank you!
Congrats on the finish! Great film!
Thank you!
Great film!! So well done! Congratulations!!
Thank you very much!
Had to jump forward, but thanks for this. Most of all: Congratulations! And it is awesome you had such great support throughout. Looked like a super tough trial for you (the puking, not being able to eat or drink). Well done!!
Yeah definitely a longer documentary style. I hope you enjoy!
Incredible finish Steven!
Thank you!
Gosh the quality of this is so good! So good. Congrats again. I hope to do the silver rush 50mi next year, maybe the 100 one day.
Loved the prayer as well 🙏
Thank you so much! I’ve got a race vlog on the Silver Rush 50 too. It’s a great race. You can do it!
@@UltraTrailSteven thanks man! Definitely watched your Silver Rush video! What is cool is that I had hiked Mt. Sherman a few weeks back and met a guy at the top who had just ran the 50. I went home and watched your video to check it out and got the itch. I haven’t ran anything over Marathon length (have done several half Ironmans). I was going to do a 50k in Saunton State Park in October and then possibly do the Leadville 50mi or the Never Summer 60k next year. Have you ever participated in that one?
Thats awesome! Not yet, but I want to do the Never Summer 100k@@andrewdelprete
Congrats man
Thank you!
Great video bro!
Appreciate it!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Congratulations! We met river crossing inbound!
Thank you! I remember you! Congratulations to you too, Simon!
@@UltraTrailSteven Mine's coming out hopefully next week - been crazy busy with work, but I'll most def find time to watch this one :)
Great video and congrats again on finishing! Really enjoyed the format with the interviews interspersed with the race footage. And holy crap what a fast turnaround time to make a 40 minute doc from how many hours of footage? Were you somehow editing during the race?!? 😂😂😂
Thank you, Carey! I had over 200 GB of footage to sort through. It was an ultra-edit! haha
only 8 minutes in but I can tell this is going to be great.
Thanks. Definitely a documentary style vs vlog.
Amazing story! I loved how it kept me engaged throughout. I wanted to watch all 40 mins as everything unfolded. I was also very motivated by how things unfolded. Reminded me of my Mohican races where things were on the brink and then resolved with a glorious ending. So much fun man and so proud of your performance. Enjoy reflecting on this one for a while. The only question is: what’s next? Maybe WS100?? Can’t wait to find out!
Thank you so much, Dan! Definitely happy with the outcome. Let’s hope States is next!!
Amazing dude! I’m so impressed by how well you stayed in it mentally. Maybe that’s a product dad skills? Haha staying cool under pressure and always focusing on the next task.
Thank you! Probably from my days in the Army, and also dad life lol
LET'S GOOOOO IT"S FINALLY OUT
Yeah buddy!
Simon spotting at 29:33!!
Yep. Also in the beginning around turquoise lake
I wanted to make sure I had the time to really devour this.
I’m loving the generosity and vibe that Collin is bringing to your crew! Overall just so much positivity! 😊
This is so cool seeing your point of view mixed with your crews point of view!!! Really, REALLY well done. 😊
Honestly the fact that you and your wife are both still able to be ultra runners while having FOUR kids is so impressive.
The sunset was gorgggggg. Looks like the weather was perfect!
Seeing you cross the finish line with your crew…I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING
I saw you at outward bound brotha!
Awesome man!
@@UltraTrailSteven I can see myself on the video lol for once second. I said “lets go steven”
@@UltraTrailSteven I was pacing my friend Danny flores.
@@manniezubia awesome
I’ll be doing Leadville this year bro!
seeing runners sitting in the sun at an aid station when someone could be holding an umbella over them ...
It was a warm day
What's the tune at 32:05 ?
That is "Lottery" by Ten Towers.
@@UltraTrailSteven awesome, thank you!!!
what Mosquitos?!?! Nope, im out !!
