  • Into The Well: 100 Miles. 32 Hours. 200 Racers. is an outdoor adventure documentary feature film telling the story of personal endurance. An excruciating test of how far one is willing to push themself to accomplish their goals.
    Follow three West Virginians as they prepare for the first 100-mile ultramarathon in the New River Gorge National Park where they'll take on a challenge far greater than they could ever have imagined.

    Any running documentary will be time well spent than on shorts/reels. Started running 3 years back and haven't looked back. It changes you mentally, physically. You start to develop respect for athletes, trail runners, marathoners and any sports man because it takes a lot to getup everyday to train for an upcoming event. Your body and mind says no but it is your sheer will that wakes you up to train 3-6 times a week.

    For those of us who run long distances on trails, it is very emotional to see documentaries like this one. The main reason is that when you are into a race, your body and mind go into survival mode and you don't have many emotional moments to think about. However, when you see the pain and the endurance through a documentary, all the emotions kick in because you know exactly what these guys went through.
    Nice work. Well done

    Nice work on the tapping job. I've no idea if that's the correct technique but like being in the bush and isolated, you'll give anything a go in the hope that it will improve a situation. Sometimes, the placebo effect can be enough. Good on you for being such supportive friends. Also big congrats to the folks who ran the event, huge effort went into it in challenging times. Well done.

    One of the very best ultra productions I've seen! Love all the titles, timers, maps, and graphics. Many many times it's impossible to know where the runners are and how much time has passed which is so vital to the flow of a running film. My only downer with this one was the music. In the first half, I was literally turning the volume up and down to hear the dialog and not be overwhelmed both by the music. I have no doubt that this is super hard. Yet the second half the fades and momentum were better. This one goes into my ultra saved folder to enjoy again in the future. Good job everyone! Good run, good crews, and a good film.

I've watched several of the very well-known ultras (Hardrock, UTMB, etc), and it's wonderful to see a grassroots effort. I love seeing "everyday people" achieve extraordinary things, not just the superstars of the ultra world. I wish Bryant and Laura all the best with future editions of this race.

    Such a brave effort from HollyAnne. With an injury niggle at that distance it will rear it's ugly head. I've experienced the same with an achilles niggle in a 24 hour trans Wales event (there were only 2 of us doing it). But I gave up with 15 miles to go as i didn't want John (or our pacer )to wait for me, and i was worried about the long term damage.
    Hopefully the medical advice she got was good. I did feel concerned that the support crews were encouraging her to keep going.
    Hopefully she will be fit and running again to do another event!
