He sets out to complete the 500-mile Colorado Trail, the Leadville race series, and all Colorado 14ers in just one summer. These three feats - each lifetime achievement of their own - push Robbie to his mental and physical edge over an epic journey.

Incredible film! So beautiful and motivating, showing the power of family and connection, illustrating the immense highs and lows, and capturing the gorgeous landscape of Colorado. So much strength and grit - all the tears and laughs. Y'all crushed Colorado, and this film 🔥 So excited to see the future of the Audacious Report!
Thank you so much Fyn!!!! So glad you enjoyed the film 💥
I paused the video to let him rest awhile 🤯
That's actually kinda funny 😂
Sam was to Robbie the way Samwise was to Frodo. He is the unsung hero and I am so proud to be a part of a running community comprised of people like him. Way to go Robbie, you are incredible and that is reflected in the wonderful people are are surrounded and supported by.
Great video and super accomplishment(s). I only take exception with the “later in life i’am 36” comment- i found running at 64 and am now 70 😆👍🏃♂️🏃♂️
Samwise and the fellowship got him through it.
What an awesome dude Sam is!
33:27 "I need a lot of things". yup, story checks out.
This was real life Lord of the Rings with Sam at Hope Pass.
Robbie keeps inspiring! shoutout to sam!!
Sam is the man.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you ALL for the outpouring of love and support. We are so glad the film brings you joy, tears, inspiration!

Rod Stewart... Maggie May... Class man
"Integrity and consistent character". My favorite words in the film.
Props to Sam for being a real one
Hands down....the most inspirational production I've ever watched!! Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! This made me cry hard!! I just finished my very first 100-miler and I felt defeated so many times. Watching Robbie crush Colorado was just insanely inspiring. The amount of grit and determination one human being can summon when they have to is absolutely incredible. Congratulations to you, Robbie! You indeed crushed Colorado!!!
Congratulations on your 100 miler 🙏
@@smokeystone8005 Thank you! That's very nice of you...
Thank you!! 🙏 so glad the film was inspiring to you
Live in the Colorado mountains, hiked many of the 14ers (all separate occasions lol) and it ain’t no joke. This dudes a legend
OMG! I have no words... That was an incredible feat of endurance Robbie. I'm inspired to keep my whining to a minimum from this day forward.
So inspiring! Robbie continues to show up and remind us that we can go beyond the limits we set for ourselves.
And what a beautifully made film! For as much effort as Robbie put into these events, I imagine it took a whole lot for the crew documenting it as well-especially on that terrain. What an amazing job by everyone involved!
Thank you Steven!
I just wanted to say that I was essentially immobile 4 months ago. I drank about 20 16oz beers a day, never got up from the remote work computer job and I could only walk 100 feet before the circulatory issues in my leg would prevent me from willing another step because it is so painful. I was stuck, even as a tough dude that feels no real pain thanks to years of beating the crap out of myself, you can't will your way out of that. I was in the hospital 5 days and ended up being diagnosed with afib, irregular heart rhythm. I switched to Vegan immediately, told them to enjoy prescribing stuff while it lasts and have lost 110 pounds, walk 5 miles a day now @3mph in altitude and after watching this, I will never walk alone again. This isn't about me at all, rather I wanted to provide context for this: Thank you Reece and Robbie for such and inspiring film, it will always be with me as I push my own limits. It isn't pain, it is growth.
Amazed by Robbie continuing to find extremely difficult challenges and adding up these achievements! Great video and thanks to his support crew and video team who dedicated their selfless time to document this milestone.
an absolute hero and an amazing human!
This is amazing Robbie, really inspiring and makes us believe that we are capable of unimaginable things.
Thank you for giving us these beautiful moments.
This is absolutely incredible. It’s amazing what the human body is capable of! Also your videography and editing is impressive!
Such a good film! Makes me want to keep running these trails.
Moved to Boulder just a few months ago and I’ve got several years of running under my belt, came here to dig and I love to see others do the same.
Love this! Congrats to the whole team! Robbie for such an epic battle and to Reece for this beautiful film. Loved every minute of it.
What an epic challenge! so much grit and determination in that final stretch. Congrats Robbie and your team!
I ran the LT100 that year. Those screams of agony were very similar to the ones I let out at times during that race. Amazing effort and documentary!
Love it! I was born and raised in Colorado, have done Leadville a few times and a handful of fourteeners. This film really captures the essence of Colorado trail running, the Leadville series, and Robbie's story. Excellent.
CRUSHED IT!! So incredible and inspiring!
Wow, just wow, what a watch and more importantly, what an achievement. Incredible heart and grit👏👏👏👏
Amazing! Congratulations to the whole team!! Robb is a beast!
Go Robbie Go! So inspirational!
Here we go!!
Thank you for taking us along. This is an incredible glimpse into the man, the myth, the legend Robbie Balenger.
Robbie you continue to amaze me (from the early Mulberry days). Loved the personal struggle and personal transformation unfolding on the screen. And my favorite moments were seeing you and Shelley together. So proud of you and learning from you still. You certainly are leaving your mark on the world Robbie. Do YOU!
Thank you for sharing this story and experience. Got me so stoked to keep getting out there and pushing boundaries!
I'm new to ultra-marathon, starting my second year. Love the idea to push my body to that physical level of endurance. You are an inspiration my friend. Thank you!!!!
This is so inspiring!! This shows what the human spirit can do! We shouldn’t limit ourselves,we are more capable of doing great things if we sent our minds to. Thank you Robbie. You’ve inspired me and hopefully one day I get to meet you!! Wish you more success!!
In 6 weeks time I will commence a 70 day, 1000 mile run through the UK. England, Wales and Scotland. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation Robbie and Crew, for inspiring me to be an even better version of myself. Respect.
🙌
This is absolutely amazing! You are so very mentally tough! Congrats on the Crush!
Well done great achievement.. just starting my adventure into ultra and mountain running very inspirational wish it was like 2 hours long!!
Wow that was so good I had to watch it twice! Your an inspiration to me who also found running later in life at 30 and are proof that hard work pays off! I can't wait to watch all your future successes and I wish you all the best 🙌

Wow Robbie. It’s easy to watch a video. But to make this happen is amazing. Always getting in and out of your pain cave is the real challenge. Exceptional great job. Thanks for sharing. All the best from Germany.
Love how you said you found running later in life. I've been yoyo-ing with running for years, but I'm laser focused on it this time. Starting to take it seriously at 34 years old. You're an inspiration mate.

This is so cool. The footage is incredible!
So motivational, training here in denver.. cant wait till we can get a workout in together!
Hell yeah brother! I heard you on the Adventure Sports Podcast. What an incredible feat you've accomplished. And I love the message you're putting out there about being plant-based. What great advocacy. As a Denverite that loves playing in the CO mountains every changing season and a vegan for over 5 years now, you're definitely doing something amazing here. Much love, hope to see you out or run across you on a trail someday.
Wild. Way to go!
What an unbelievable feat. Amazing to be able to witness the sheer will power and mental fortitude it takes to accomplish such an extraordinary goal. Thanks for capturing this journey and sharing the figurative and literal ups and downs. Great job to all involved! Robbie is a beast.
