A film about Alaska's favorite mountain race and the people who run it.
Product Description
Alaska’s favorite extreme mountain race comes to life in this documentary that explores the attraction of this legendary race. Experience the race like you’ve never seen it before. Climb 3,022 feet with 71 year-old “Ultra Geezer Jock of the Year” Jerre Wills of Homer, AK as he attempts to beat his record setting pace from the year before. Follow on the heels of ordinary folk and elite athletes as they crawl up the 35-60 degree slope then fly down the other side at break-neck speeds through rock, shale, snow and a creek. Enjoy the thrills from your armchair as racers endure 3.1 miles of torture in what is the second oldest foot race in the country.
Why do they do it? How do they do it?
This might just be the craziest race around. And that’s just how Alaskans like it.
Running time: 51 minutes
