Exploring the Country of Georgia - RACING GEORGIA 🇬🇪 EP 1

- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2023
- In June of 2022, I travelled to the country of Georgia to compete in a 7-day stage race with Racing the Planet. We'd run 250 km while carrying all of our food and supplies for the week on our backs, and this 7-part series will document my entire adventure, starting with the week I spent travelling around the country and taking in its rich history.

I could seriously write a novel about how AMAZING this video is. I'm blown away and a bit speechless. The music, the editing, the drone shots.....like I say, too many to list. I do have to make 2 comments though. 1 - What I love about your videos is they bring you up not down. Social media is filled to the brim with videos that (in one way or another) are designed to depress, instill fear, etc. into the watcher and I guess that stuff "sells" but I always feel so great about the human race and our future after watching your videos. Thank you for that. 2 - Maybe this is your plan, but you need to branch out and make more travel videos like this. The running audience is so small but the travel audience.....they need to jump on your channel. This is as good as it gets. You are a true professional. From a fellow Canadian, well done!!
Thanks so much for the kind words. You’ve pretty much nailed my long term strategy as well - travel is where I see the growth potential for my channel, and it’s something I can continue to do as I get older (or even when injured), but there will always be an element of ‘outdoor adventure’ involved.
@@JeffPelletier I love it bud! Can't wait:)
This is a spectacular film. I love learning about new countries. Looking forward to your race footage.
As usual, simply spectacular cinematography. Your visuals, choice of music, and narration draw in the viewer and make us fall in love with the region and the sport. You are so, so talented as a filmmaker. I'm glad you share your gift in this way. It's a crime that your channel has only 63,500 members.
Nobody does these trail run/travel vids better than you! Great job!
I’m here because I’m a runner. But even if I was not I compliment you on your filmmaking. Very entertaining.
Jeff! The Tony Bourdain of trail! This is why I pay for the channel. Worth every penny. Thanks for your work!
Thanks so much for the support!
This is masterful, Jeff. You’re doing for trail running what Bourdain did for food tourism.
That’s actually a higher compliment than you might know. I’ve always loved Bourdain and secretly aspire to do exactly that for trail running!
We don’t deserve Jeff!!! This is masterful. Thank you for such captivating storytelling 👏🏾👏🏾
I'm not quite sure how I landed on your channel but I'm so glad I did! Wow! Just Wow! The only downside is that I've skipped some of my runs and stayed on the bike trainer to keep watching your films. Racing Georgia and the Namib race were both INCREDIBLE!! Incredible story telling, filming and inspiration. Thank you!
I’ve never left a comment under a video yet, but I cannot leave RUclips without telling you how great this video was and how much I appreciated it. The captions, the nature, the number of facts and information you share and your affinity and sensibility for culture is outstanding. Thanks for making these videos and please continue doing them🙏
Thanks Mat!
From one Pelletier to another I just wanted to thank you for putting together such amazing content from your global travels and here at home. You and Audrée make an incredible team and you are super lucky to be able to do these adventures together. Admittedly, I am living vicariously through you guys and I'm enjoying every moment of it. So please keep the content coming as it's very motivating to me and many others I'm sure. Understanding that there is tons of work involved putting this content together so it is very much appreciated. Onwards and upwards!
I was in Georgia in 2019 and they had the convoys of waiting trucks then too. We stopped at all the sites you did up to the Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument then returned to Tbilisi. would love to go back and run there this time. great people, mountains, food and wine!
Wow, wow, wow!! This is so impressive and I can't wait for the rest of the series. You are also 2 for 2, Georgia has never been on my bucket list, but after seeing those mountains and all of the friendly people, it is now! Thank you Jeff for continuing to share your adventures with your amazing videos.
Another amazing serie on the way. Each time I hear Jeff telling in his other videos. "its gonna be ready in a year or so", I couldn't help laughing. But once we get the goods its marvelous. Documentary level of video journalism, even National Geograpic level. Worth the wait and the amount of works you must put into this.
Yep, public transport not working from midnight to 6 AM, but it's top notch. People are excelent, food even more! Only good memories from Tbilisi.
Oh la la! Jeff, this is what we have been waitin' for ! Appriciate your precise editin' work, such a pleasure to watch! Eager to see the whole serie of this! Much love from Finland.
Hi Jeff. Again a beautiful video man. I think i feel so so good for you. I watched this video today morning and i’m gonna stay positive whole day. It was kind of so courageous for you to travel like this solo. I’m running a HM coming sunday and your UTMB film was also the roght motivation I needed. I have tried trail running but so afraid of animals specially the dogs and all. But you have just shown something spectacular to me. Thanks for your work. 🙏
First time watcher, first timer commenter. Bravo this production quality is brilliant!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel 😎
Great film with a new spin! loved the travel and historical depth you gave episode 1! Kudos also to your great editing! we often tend to forget the amount of work put into making these films! Bravo!
Well worth the wait! After watching this episode, not only do I want to run more. I also want visit this incredible country. Thank you the lengths you must go through to put out such captivating content.
Jeff, your channel has been a treasure trove of all goodies related to running, sports, travel and more, but this video (and I guess the following parts) are something else. It was as professional as it gets, I loved watching it and can't wait to have time for the rest of the episodes. Wow :) Thank you, Sir!

Stunning Jeff. So happy that the race inspired you to visit a place outside of the normal bucket list and that you loved it.
Just WOW! Love the video and everything you do for the running community! Taking us with you on your adventures and making these inspiring videos! Thank you!
We traveled to Georgia in 2022 as well and used Traffic Travel/Tsotne as a guide for an 8 day tour all over the country. Amazing nature, amazing running, amazing experience overall. Can't wait to relive our trip watching your videos! 🙂
I love that you share some of the sights and history of the country! My kids were fascinated!
Hi Jeff! As a longtime fan of your channel I finally became a member as of now. You really outdid yourself with this video. Please keep doing what you're doing 👍
Thanks so much for the support!
Echoing some other commenters-- I found you for the running content, but turned on notifications for the amazing storytelling and insights from the people you meet!
Amazing footage and content, like watching National Geographic, so much historic value....looking forward to the next episodes. Thanks for taking us.
as impatient as i get for your feature races.... the production is worth the wait! thank you for sharing your travels with us, i particularly love the multidimensional views (dashcams! drones! perfectly composed long shots! beautiful b-roll!) and engaging story telling! looking forward to the rest!
That’s so far away! I’m so excited!
Wow, Jeff! So great on so many levels! The sound design for one was great. Plus the usual history and story telling. Love it!
This episode is a masterpiece!!!!
Once again an absolutely fantastic film from Jeff. He consistently produces content far and above the normal RUclips level. So engaging and brilliantly shot, edited and narrated. Thank you Jeff.
An amazing country where I had the chance to travel for my job. Thanks Jeff to make those landscapes, people and culture visible. I look forward watching the next episode 🤩
Truly amazing how you capture this footage, edit, write the script and all mostly yourself! This is so good and I can’t wait to watch the rest!
What an adventure with fantastic footage. Can't wait for more episodes
Since your amazing fast packing Mont Blanc video I feel you've moved up a couple of gears - these films are amazing!! Love it. Such inspiring work - I love the way you treat the race as an opportunity to explore a different country. Great stuff!!
Thanks Tim! This series is actually a lot like my Racing Namibia series from early last year, so be sure to check that out as well if you haven’t yet 😀
@@JeffPelletier Will do and thanks agin
