  • Documentary film by ‪@dylanleeder‬ featuring Ultra Runner, Evan Birch. A story about the intersection between running and mental health. An opportunity to run toward, rather than run away.
    The documentary follows Evan's journey after a two decade career in emergency services and a diagnoses of PTSD, alongside his relationship with ultra running. Pushing the edges of human potential, all while coming from a place of joy, self-love and a deep respect for the journey he has taken both mentally and physically.

    Very powerful! It’s amazing what the human spirit is capable of doing. I’m so glad you found your way forward through the processes of running. One step, one mile, one day at a time.

      David I truly appreciate the kind words and time you took to watch and share your feedback on what you took away. As you say one step at a time!

    This is why I gravitate towards long distance running. It gives you that ample space and time to process whatever you need to deal with. Such an inspiring short film!

    Fantastic video! As a former emergency responder (RCMP) also diagnosed with PTSD, this hits hard. Happy for you, man. Thanks for this.

    Awesome video! Such an inspiring story and such incredible footage. Very well done 😊. I agree with Evan about the healing journey…. It’s not about running from but running to…. Running (and its community) + Therapy = Magic. Way to lean into the healing and to conquer a tough race. Running and life have so many parallels. Amazing video. Thank you.
