  • A RACE FOR THE SOUL profiles the physical and mental challenges encountered by the 396 participants of the Western States 100, a grueling ultra-marathon held in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. The goal is about more than winning - it's about simply completing the arduous 100-mile journey through mountains, canyons and forests in just 24 hours.

    I have this video and since I no longer have a video player I haven't been able to watch this epic film.
    Thank you for making it available!

    This was awesome. Thanks for posting this. That Wild World Of Animals commentary and the National Geographic music and feel was just perfect!!! But man, that ending was heart wrenching.

    Yeah, Gordie, your “life-giving” water also gives you Giardia (lamblia) which Birdman and I both got. But it did taste good.

    What a bunch of pu****s! Trail monitors, safety patrol, cables at river crossings, medevac, tables loaded with food and water, clear trail. When I did it in ‘79, the first 30miles to Robinson Flat was totally snow-covered and the only support you had was what you brought with you. I didn’t get an actual belt buckle but I was the first over-200 pounds and with a time of 28:40 got a plaque with a belt buckle on it.

      Congrats on your participation plaque, your generation created the society that makes these safety protocols common and/or propped up the world of insurance and liability waivers. Either way, thanks for your comment. I hope I can brag about having done the race decades before the river dries up, but we can both take credit for that one.

      Wow you're a tough guy. Thanks for sharing your story. Unsure why you feel the need to call people names. But I am sure the pioneers who blazed the trail would think the same of you in your fancy manufactured shoes and clothing. 😂
