  • As a rancher growing up in the rugged northeast corner of the Navajo Nation with no electricity or running water, Eli Neztsosie learned through years of work what it meant to rely on discipline and endurance. Now he relies on these same skills, running long distances- striving every day, in his words, to be better than he was the day before.
    A Patagonia Films production

    Patagonia continues to blow my mind. Such an amazing company. This is exactly the kind of athlete/person who deserves sponsorship and support. So inspiring. Thank you.

    Well told story with supporting scenery to match (great shot of Eli running over the huge rock arch). Like he said “Ranchers never give up!”

    Hard working Patagonia ambassadors is what I like to see. Also the drone footage is amazing on the arch.

    Fantastic, as always. "If you're constantly chasing after the hard things, eventually you're going to achieve what you're going after." I think the deeper and deeper I get into this sport, the more true that rings. Whatever that next step is for you, it always feels wild and crazy until you put the work in and do it.
