THE UNKNOWN | The Hardrock 100

- "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.
16:48 just nonchalantly handshakes the greatest American ultrarunner ever lol
2:25 "Then I started throwing up like crazy..and that helped for a little bit"....different breed
I don't wonna imagine a world without Billy Yang Films. Inspirational. Epic. Heart-moving. Thanks and hello from Germany!
Sven Horlemann hello Sven- thank you!

Word brother!!!!
Watching this during COVID quarantine and my biggest impression of the movie was “stop kissing that rock everyone!” 😂
Ha, great point
Billy Yang Films Great film! Loved it!!
Me too! Hahaha
Same! But I've never been more inspired to start running again. Day 3 tomorrow :)

Thank you Billy for your time and dedication to ur craft! The running community most certainly appreciates your amazing work!
Been bingeing all your content this weekend after I just finished my first ever Half. Your videos are amazing! So well paced and your narrative choices along side your selection of video content is always impressive. I can't even start to imagine how much video you have to sift through at the end of shooting these docs. Keep it up!
Your films make my heart swell 1000 times - really inspiring - that scene when he knew he was going to make it and be ok and the trees were blowing in the wind as he ran through .. so good :)
Billy, wow....just....wow. All your work is spectacular and we can't thank you enough for your dedication, your passion, and your drive to continue to showcase our beautiful sport. The sacrifices you make to bring us these precious gems is so completely appreciated by all of us. Keep it up my man, and thank you!
Thanks for the inspiration, Tim! I stumbled on your video a couple of years ago about how you got into running. Suffice to say, I immediately connected with you as my struggle was similar. And running, in many ways, has saved my life too. My best to you and your beautiful family.
Another great film Billy!! Thank you for this inspirational look into Tim's run.
Great work, as always! I loved the script captions!!
Dude! Rad film. Rad runners. Inspiring story. Absolutely amazing. Shared this on the Terrain Trail Runners facebook page. They are doing an amazing job of supporting trail and ultra-running in Missouri where I live. I'm sure they will appreciate the film and story as well! WooWoo!
You're an inspiration, Tim!
Great video again, Billy!
Thanks. Billy, for bringing us all the joy, pain, emotions, all the ride of the life of each of the greatest..because this is life...and inspirational...TO is THE man!

Everytime someone in your films finish I get a flashback to the 40 miler I once did, so many amazing and conflicting emotions. Thanks for capturing that feeling Billy.

Billy, thank you for making these videos. I always like going back and rewatching them. Every time I rewatch a video I learn or see a new message I need to receive at the very moment. Your videos help me push through my training. Thank you! 🙏
I see what you mean, after 10 years away from running with problems, I've started back and I loved the comment of Timothy, something is coming alive in me.
Another home run Billy!! Beautiful and powerful story. Congrats Tim Olson!!
Thanks Billy for another bloody great short film thank you for all your hard work.

You, my friend, have a very special and beautiful gift. Thanks for all of this.
craig lloyd 🙏🏻
Agree. In Italy we say---be in the Olimpo- and I believe you are in the Olimpo of outdoor filmmakers ( Yuri Palma, Chris Burkard,...not so many!!)
Filmed so I don’t even think about the filming. Amazing Billy! What a beautiful family and an inspiring human Tim Olsten is.
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.
Awesome video! Nice to see Tim Olson rising at his best again!
Indeed.
Billy, this is a great work. Thank you.
Another epic documentary Billy! Tim's one of my favorite ultra runners...one tough guy!
Who in the world would thumbs down this uplifting and inspiring story? Thank you, Billy, for another powerful film from you. Thank you for your time and effort and insightful storytelling.
WOW! So emmotional. A very great docu. Thanks for doing it.
My favourite video on CZcams bar none. Amazing. Very inspirational Billy. Thank you
All I can say is..... incredible!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Billy, fantastic as always!
I'm rewatching all of your films and this one hits close to home, especially in the times we are living right now... the unknown, indeed! Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm currently doing the same !!
Thank you very much!! Your films about ultrarunning are very specific for whole community of runners! In every one film all is said.
We're capable of a lot. Thank you for the show
Loved this! Timothy is an inspiring human being! Thank you for this video!
If I could give this a thousand thumbs up I would! Absolutely fantastic 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 !!
Billy Yang once again you've nailed another inspirational but moving documentary. Keep up the excellent work buddy. All the way from the UK.
Dude you're amazing! Great work and very inspiring! Much love from the runners in Redondo Beach and keep up the great work. Truly Amazing work!!!
Beautifully directed and filmed ! Totally inspiring ! Thanks Billy !!!
Thank you for sharing this, very well done and inspiring.
peaceful quiet-minded motion through nature = bliss.
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO! I FEEL THE PAIN AND ACCOMPLISHMENT! THE UPS AND DOWNS!
Awesome! Inspiring as always, thanks for sharing Billy!
Thanks Billy! Amazing work, and so inspiring to trail runners ;)
"When its at its hardest part is when the magic happens" beautiful display of courage and strength man!
Ain't it the truth though?
My brother. This is my dude. Heart. All heart.

Congratulation to Timothy for his running to finish line and for Billy making this video..bravo both of you..
