- “UTMB is not conquerable by a human, it's conquerable by the human spirit. And you need to harness the spirit in order to accomplish the goal.”
Jim Walmsley discovered ultra trail running through an unconventional journey. After participating as a track athlete in high school and college, he transitioned to the military, serving in a nuclear missile silo in Montana. He was eventually dismissed, leading him back to running, where he emerged as one of America's top ultra trail runners.
Following impressive records at the Western States 100, Jim sought a new challenge: the infamous Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB). Despite initial failures, he committed to enhancing his mindset and training, bringing him to relocate to France with his wife, Jess.
In 2023, Jim achieved a historic victory, becoming the first American man to win UTMB in a thrilling mid-race twist. He now joins the ranks of great American women who have triumphed in the race before him.
Watch Jim’s journey to the UTMB podium and beyond in the feature-length documentary: WALMSLEY THE FILM presented by Wahoo + HOKA.

Privilege to be able to watch this for free. What an athlete.
Loved the whole film but the moment when he acknowledged the American female runners who have won the race before him saying "They paved the way" was an absolutely emotional peak of the film. You don't hear male athletes say that every day. Fantastic.
That was beautiful
Well, it's true.. 🧐
Shut up. Youre just virtue signaling
Thank you for this film. Thank you for it being free on RUclips. I love these types of docs where we get to see the human side of our favorite runners.
Major respect for Jess as well. Uprooting your whole life to a new continent where you don't speak the language, all to support your partner and their passion is admirable!!
We all know while Jim's a legend, Jess is the real MVP
François crewing him (while he himself couldn't run that year because of an injury) really shows how great of a sport that is and was a highlight of the film to me. Just two of the best athletes in the sport supporting and inspiring each other!
Best human. Best athlete. Best sport.
coucou simone 👀

@@jakoblangmann9182 good. This is about Jim.
Je pense exactement pareil que toi .
C’est dans ces moments là que je me dis que j’aurais mieux fait d’écouter en cours d’anglais j’aurais peut être tout compris au lieu de la moitié.
I put him second to Alex Honnold in terms of endurance athletes, but yeah he’s the man.
“UTMB is not conquerable by a human, it's conquerable by the human spirit. And you need to harness the spirit in order to accomplish the goal.” What a great perspective to live by.
When Jim is in the aid station and tells her he’s sorry but he doesn’t think he can hold them off really put a lump in my throat.
What an effort. Great documentary!
Such a wonderful scene! Yes, I was looking for who was cutting the onions.
in that scene I could see myself in 2022 when I was so close of giving up because of stomach aches and cramps. I said to my partner I was going to leave race but she moved me out of the station and put me running in front of her. She was a huge part of my way to Chamonix. It was so inspiring watching a giant like Jim with the same kind of doubts as me, and be able to push forward.
Same 😭
I can’t believe content this solid is being presented to us for free. What a pleasure to watch.
Never thought I’d cry during an ultra running documentary on RUclips, but here we are.
SAME
As Dylan Bowman said: "Trail running will save the world". Realy inspiring film. Thank you, Jim.❤
You’ve conquered your body , you’ve mastered your mind , and you’ve transformed and uplifted our spirits. Thank you Jim for inspiring us with your life. I feel like I can now do a little more tomorrow than I could today . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
😍😍😍
Wonderful film. The production team did an excellent job of telling his story.
The athlete, the couple, the team, the path, Savoie.
GO JIM !
This was an incredible documentary! Thank you for sharing it with the world, especially for free. What an incredible accomplishment - and thank you for acknowledging the U.S. women who came before you. This was so beautifully made.
One of the best ultra running movies i've ever seen. Got really emotional when Jim left the last aid station. Big role model ✊🏻
This was jaw dropping masterpiece. Massive gratitude. So emotional I could felt it all the way. As well as 5☆ effort on editing and story telling part. 🎉❤😊🎉
Thank you for the film showing what champions are going through. Jess and Jim make a great pair.
Such a cool story. Watched most of it on the treadmill. Has me on the edge on my seat. So inspiring. Pulling for this dude so hard. Go Jim go!
Watching the Jim Wamsley movie on Wahoo. Quote of the day "UTMB is not conquerable by a human but by the human spirit". Best line. Great
So beautiful❤ Jim well said about the amazing, strong American women who won before at UTMB.
Jim is such an inspiration. He's a quirky, comedic, resilient, monster of an athlete and human being that has and no doubt, will achieve so much in the sport. Congratulations on your UTMB victory!
This is a beautiful film. Lovely couple. His wife makes his soul glow. Bravo!!!
Probably one of the best movies about an ultrarunner!
I have watched 100’s of ultra vids…
This is the absolutely best ….
Congrats…. And thankyou
I watched Jim win the UTMB live from Indiana streaming online. Seeing his dedication to the sport and cross training only cemented his achievement to show hard work truly pays off!
What an incredible story of perseverance! Truly motivational to learn from our experiences especially when the result is not what you wanted.
"The UTMB isn't conquerable by a human, it is conquerable by the human spirit."
Really wonderful. I love this sport. Thank you for making this available on RUclips. Time to hit the trails.
Enjoyed this so much while recovering right after I finished my first ultra. Now, I dream about being there in Chamonix somday near future. Human sprit is amazing. Anything conquerable by this.
What a treat. Cannot state my appreciation enough. My wife and I split this into 3 sections and looked forward to sharing in this together as the cap to our evening 👍🏼
Though I will never run the pace or journey you have. I live inspired by you sharing your journey with us and letting us tag along to cheer you on.
Frissons pendant, 1h34. Quel film !
Merci de croire en cette plateforme
What an awesome journey to an incredible win. Such an emotional film, made me cry. I am running UTMB this August and have learnt a lot from this film, as I won't be able to recee it this will do. Looks amazing, but oh so tough! Thank you.
What an amazing Video!! This is a gem! The perfect balance of photography, running, landscapes and LIFE! Congrats to all involved in this amazing achievement!
Best running film I've watched in my life, hands down. I teared up when Jim was saying "I'm sorry if I don't hold on" to Jess in 2022. What a unwavering human being, what a fantastic couple!
Even though of course I knew the outcome, the 2023 UTMB race coverage was so exciting. I felt like I could feel what Jess went through during that race. Wow - I did not know about . . . well, I don't want to spoil it for others, but the finish line is super special. Thank you!
the subtitles are killing me. Unintentionally hilarious
Haha the famous At&T 😂
UTMB is in Germany 😃
Really well done film!!! The linearity and progression really culminate into something special.
Wow, I admit that’s best documentary movie I’ve seen lately. Thank you guys for this adventure. We all have doubts, I’ll just keep on struggling! Peace!
I love this film, watched it in a few segments, and everytime, i had some time, was very excited to sit down again to see more, really well done! Thanks for posting this and for being so open about your experience leading up to UTMB, it was great to see how you lived and trained!
Absolutely amazing Jim. And beautiful filmmaking work.
Ah man that last bit 🥹
This film re-ignites my passion for trail running. Great athlete! Great film!
Lets go Jim!
So proud of Jim and Jess! Thank you for this inspirational film! I'll train harder today!
Those two... you gotta love those two. All the best to J&J.
Great film!!! A guy on top of his game and pure dedication to his craft!!!
What an film, amazing story and persistence to win this. Amazing
The best of all time, humble, talented, passionate ❤️
Jess is a keeper, Jim.
Wonderful film. Its so cool seeing how these athletes prepare. And wow-- what a gorgeous setting for it!
Gosh, that look at the aid station. I think we have all felt that and it is soul crushing. Pushing through this will humble anyone and make you a better human being.
My partner said, “Show me one video that explains what you love so much about ultramarathons.” I showed her this one and it did the trick. She gets it now. Thank you for this beautiful film!
What an amazing person and what an accomplishment Jim! What a privilege to be able to watch this film, grateful! Thank you RUclips!!!
Just amazing!! What an inspiration to just be better, a better runner, and just a better human above all!! Thanks for this great film!
Is it just me or did he have more of a French accent the second year of living there? Makes you appreciate how long it took to film this incredible piece. 👏🏻
Fantastic story, brilliantly captured 👏
Absolutely great❤ thanks for Free sharing!
Can't thank you enough for making it available... to get a chance to admire someone, you already admire up close.

Thank you for teaching the world how to pronounce Walmsley.
This film is one of my favorite endurance athlete documentaries I have seen on RUclips! The camera quality, the absolutely awe inspiring shots of the mountains, and the drone footage was amazing!

Jim is so inspiring! Hard earned victories mean so much more and Jim is the man! I cheered him up just before he overtook Zac and he had a smile on the corner of his lips that said: "the game is ON" LEGEND
This was Great! Jim is doing it the right way. Being open minded, willing to lean new things, and asking for and accepting help from others.

Great film, thanks for having it on RUclips. Great story, it has been great to see Jim set what seems to be unreachable goals and failing just to keep coming back and learning to finally be rewarded for all the hard work.
