  • "You really have to embrace the unknown. You can try all you want to script it - how you see the day going and have these plans. But the mountains don't care. They're indifferent to whatever plans, whatever hopes you have..."
    The 2016 Hardrock 100 was supposed to be a redemption race. In 2014, The North Face athlete Timothy Olson hit a figurative brick wall halfway through The Hardrock and was reduced to lying on the ground, sick and unable to continue for awhile. He eventually finished but wanted to prove to himself he could do better. He got that opportunity in 2016 when he was selected to run the race again.
    Unfortunately for Timothy, deja vu would rear its ugly head and a similar fate awaited him at the Hardrock...

    The thing about the other runner stopping, giving him a hug, and reminding him that he's more than a racer -- that he's a good father and a good husband -- that seriously touched me. I love trail runners.

    Timothy Olson is always inspiring, not so much when he is crushing the competition as he has done numerous times, but rather when he's digging inhumanly deep to get through the dark times like he has at HR. Very emotional film for me. Brilliant, Billy.

    I pretty much dropped my early afternoon To-Do's to watch this and am so glad I did. Truly outstanding effort man ! Timothy and Killian , imho, are the best ambassadors in our sport. Both have risen to Legend status , yet remain genuinely humble and grounded. Can't wait to watch this again on our new 4K beast at home. Your shot selection and POV is getting stronger dude-which in turn is making the narrative very effective. Solid !!
