Great film! About 10 years ago I was on vacation in Fiji, sitting next to an Australian fellah telling me about ultra races he organized in Australia. I remember telling him how I had recently run my first half marathon in Disney World and was quite proud of myself. I had no comprehension of what an ultra was, or what he was talking about. That was nearly 10 years ago. 5 months ago, I finished UTMB. Funny how life happens. Films like this helped me find my way to UTMB. Keep inspiring others, you are changing lives!
This is one of the best I've seen, who cares about elites and their stories, I want to see regular guys fighting it out to stay in the race. Great job guys!
Check this out: this is "The Golden Hour" - the last official hour of the Western States 100, it's about people who battle with the cutoff times ruclips.net/video/JUZG_XHUenY/видео.html
That was probably the best running film I have seen. Bloody good to see that it focuses on a bunch of normal blokes too. Also the producer deserves a chocolate fish!
I was never much of a runner. I just did it to stay moderately fit. But in April 2022, I discovered trail running and was inspired by the stuff I saw on RUclips. I got more serious from then on and in July of that year I did my first Ultra (a 50k). I'd never done any sort of race or event before, so completing that was a landmark moment for me. Did my second 50k a couple months after that in September 2022, and now three weeks from my third, with my fourth 8 weeks away. I then got a place for the CCC in September 2023. It's been an incredible journey
@@BroadenFilms no way what a small world! I stand by theory that us brummies were the key players in building the world during the industrial revolution,no one can tell me otherwise 😂
Thanks Lorna! And we totally agree, we would be keen to tell the stories of other folk to help diversify the 'trail-running film' genre. As we continue to make videos, we'll be keeping this in mind. Bryony :)
"Would you come back to UTMB again? - Never!" Yeah, that's what we, 2-time UTMB finishers, once said. ;) Great documentary. Well done guys, all of you! Just qualifying to be at the UTMB start line is an amazing effort and sacrifice. Congrats!!!
Thanks Daniel! We wouldn't be surprised if the runners returned to UTMB... we saw first-hand how addictive ultra and trail running can be. Perhaps a sequel is in store!
I dont' get it, just finish it faster. Easy. Haha, jk. What a nice doc. I've been binging these ultra docs for a while and they're always on point. This one does not disappoint at all. I love the fact that they're covering the athletes that really aren't favoured to win and how the race goes for them. A good eye-opener and something to think about if you're thinking of going into the sport.
WTF! Why am I only discovering this now? I’ve watched every ultra doco there is on YT, and here this is, 3 seemingly normal Aussie lads have a crack at the holy fucking grail. The most inspiring trail doco I’ve seen. I’ll be watching this every week until I make it to UTMB in a few years from now. So much respect to you guys!!!
Outstanding film. It’s not often we get to see every day trail runners set a huge goal and go for it. The pro’s make it look easy but we know it really isn’t.The honesty and vulnerability of these gents as they tackled UTMB was awesome to see. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much about my 50k training! Thanks for sharing their journey.
Greetings, from the U.S. MAN, this is SO inspiring! 😃💓I want to do Mont Blanc so BAD! I need time to train, though!☹ I'm getting old (in my early 50s, now) real fast!.⏳⚡👴🏾☠⚰ If my body holds out, and I can get my kids through college in the next few years, I REALLY want to try to qualify! This darn Covid-19 pandemic, has closed so MANY qualifying races. I'm so HAPPY for these guys! You guys are AWESOME!!😃🏔⛰🏃♂️
So so so kind Omar! You're awesome too, sounds like you've got the motivation and willpower to give it a big hard shot! All the best and hope to see you at UTMB one day :D
@@BroadenFilms Thanks! Happy trails to you!😃👋🏾🏞⛰🏃🏿♂️ ruclips.net/video/3q2Fd98iQqw/видео.html I hope you don't mind me placing a link to my running videos. I'll remove it, if so!☺
Top notch film and kudos to all the lads. Wonderful editing and great storytelling. I had to drop out in 2018 and 2019 due to some mad hallucinations, but I will be back for sure. Keep running and moving forward.
Man what an amazing documentary about 3 regular guys who strived to qualify for possibly the toughest trail running championship race in history. I really hope to qualify for this race as well in the future. Major props to each guy for putting themselves through the experience & the camera guys for all the footage.
Such kind words, Justin! That's exactly what Broaden wanted to capture: the idea of three normal guys who worked their way up to run something truly extraordinary. All the very best on your own running journey and so glad you liked it :)
Obviously what you guys did is an incredible feat of endurance both physically and mentally but I just wanna say mad props to your crews, especially the girls...they were there at every single checkpoint. You don't complete a race like this without support like than. Mad respect to you all and a brilliantly shot film!
Hi Shaun, we're so stoked you found the film on YT and found some inspiration in it. It was a pleasure filming the three lads and even got George stoked to run an ultra one day! Stay safe in NZ. Bryony & George.
This is epic! I Love and understand the the feeling and emotions that come along with a 100 mile Ultra. I sit here and watch thinking of my 100 that I ran in January, I DNF'd at mile 84 (ITBS) and still feel the sadness I felt for weeks after the race. I will go again next January and work harder. Thank you so much for this masterpiece! Bravo!
What an amazing testimony of the UTMB ! So nice to see normal extraterrestrial runners, their fears, feelings, emotions... And the film quality and editing is outstanding. "Would you come back to UTMB again? Never !" Hahahah ! Yeah, this is your first comment passing the line. But I tell you guys, few months later you might say "Well, I'd love be there again..." UTMB marks you for life. Congratulations !
Perhaps you're right, and the three boys will return to Mont Blanc to take this epic race once again. Really appreciate your very kind words coming from someone who has experienced UTMB!
I've got tears in my eyes, lads. So well done! I'm training for my first miler, the Tarawera in February, 2021. You are an inspiration to me. God bless, Dave.
Hi Matt, ahh so glad you found the film and enjoyed it too! Thanks :) We must admit, the aerial shots are actually helicopter footage - we weren't allowed to fly drones but because George bagged a media pass we were given the media footage which was filmed from the sky - they were super useful in adding drama to the rest of the shots and providing some context of the epic mountain setting!
watching this for film for the second time and it's verry inspiring. I'm running now for three years and hope to do this one day. Again great job guy's, TOP JOB!!!!!
FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC 😭 🥺 I have a couple of friends who I made a pact with to run Western States 100 with one day and this hit me to the core. This was an incredible film!!!
Oh we know how you feel... Mad to think we're all in our living rooms and this time a few years back running events were normal. Hoping to see the return of UTMB this year though!
A channel with 300 subs gets 30k views in 6 days. It deserves 10x more. Well done. Great story, great subjects, great support crew, great production. Loved it. Inspired by it. As I train for my much more modest goal of R2R2R in November, this will stick with me. 🙏
To get this kind of comment, on our freshly released channel and our first ever documentary, is a HUGE compliment, so thank you Lindsay! We're so glad it inspired you and we wish you all the best in R2R2R this year! The boys will be honoured to have inspired you :D
What a compliment! So nice for this film to get recognition now after three years of filming :) and we couldn't have made it without the legendary runners too!
So great to know you were there - some intense conditions (heat, thunderstorms, etc) so congratulations on being part of it. Sometimes that's how the best memories are made!
Great story. Narrated in a simple and profound way at the same time. It reminds us all why we do it, our beginnings once as a runner. I have been running since I was 12 years old and ultra distances have nothing else to do ... Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina
Great movie, being a ultra runner this just felt good to watch! Being a running content creator I also enjoyed the production value and story telling here! Great job to the boys and the film crew!
Thanks John - both in terms of running and in terms of the filmmaking! We loved working with Pat, Jacko & Steve, and telling their amazing story to UTMB across three years. We'll be sure to check out your channel :)
Welled up in tears, thanks for sharing. I can relate to the journey although I never ran UMTB. I did a 125 mile race in Ireland called the Kerryway Ultra. I couldn’t put into words how it felt and what goes through a runners mind. Your video summons my feeling up very nicely. As someone said to me, doing a race like that , at some point, you feel you understand everything. Inspiring you guys !
Wow, Jens, the Kerryway Ultra sounds like a beast! It's so great to hear from other runners that they can relate to those feelings of running a race like this. So many feels!
Great video, really felt the emotion. I finished my first Ironman last year, I can relate with pain, training,dedication and emotion . Family and friends are key for the support you need to accomplish a goal like this. I am in the middle of training for an Ironman in July.
Wow, I have seen a lot of ultra running films, and this definitely marks a spot amongst the best out there. It was refreshing to see the stance from a non-elite pro runner viewpoint. Though, they are definitely elite, I have been a preparing for a 50k and it's tough work.
Good luck with your 50K prepping - big respect to anyone who gets out there and does it. So glad you liked seeing things through the eyes of non-elites and enjoyed the film!
Super effort to all three guys. From the comments here seems the video creators are getting all the wraps!! ha ha! yes the video is super too. from an Aussie in Utah
Glad you enjoyed it, Paul. The three guys are legends and we have been so inspired to work with them and discover the trail and ultrarunning community. Hope you're well in Utah!
quel souvenir ! thanks a lot for this film, i remember me running and walking. I have the storm from La Fouly in my memories for ever. It's a very realistic film with good music !
WOW! i still have tears in my eyes. a very captivating story! i laught, i cryed, and it inspired me to keep pushing my limits. i really wanna do finish UTMB and you guys showed me how hard it is and i have to really prepare for the beast. and i laugh every time you go asked "will you do it again" and instant answer NEVER :)))) IMHO the more you go for this type of hard adventure (gradually) it is less and less torture, pain. your video really made me take a deep breath and reconsider how soon i would apply for UTMB. seeing this video and many other Ultra videos made me realise how faaaaar away from our true potential we tend to live. if you compare to normal person, you guys and any ultra 100mile is SUPER-HUMAN - GOD like. once i heard the voice of spirit in my head saying "you have no ideea how capable you are, what you can actually do" i will never forget that vibe. so true. now whenever i train and hear the voice of "oh i cannot anymore," i replace it with the first one. many blessings to you! thanks for the video. i will watch again! i donate because i would like more videos like this.
Many blessings to you too, Ian! We are all so so happy you found The Hundred Miler and you enjoyed it too. Best wishes, Pat, Jacko and Steve (runners) and Bryony & George (filmmakers). Thanks!
What an AMAZING film George and Bryony! So beautifully produced, I never thought that I would want to do an ultra but this film has shown how hard, intense and rewarding it is! Well done!
Amazing story guys! You made me laugh and cry! I was there racing as well but this time (2019) I had to DNF due to injury. I laughed on the part where you answer "Never!" to the question "Would you come back to UTMB again?" because that is the same answer that I had after each and every race... but hours later I'm there sitting and searching for qualifying races because I miss all those feelings and emotions that I had the opportunity to experience during the race! All the effort, the training, the sacrifice, the qualifying races are worth the effort.... even if you have to DNF (like I did). It's OK because we love the sport, the people are amazing, and the stunning trails we run on are spectacular and immense! Well done guys! Awesome film! Thank you! :) P.S. See you in Chamonix! ;)
Aramis, this sort of comment means so much to us. Great to know it touched you as an ultra runner and someone who has experienced DNFing as well. here's to many more races!

I'm not sure I could ever do something like this with a gun to my head. soooo much respect!
"it's night two of no sleep...brains go funny funny. Haha" - summs it up perfectly 26:15
That was probably the best running film I have seen. Bloody good to see that it focuses on a bunch of normal blokes too.
Also the producer deserves a chocolate fish!
Cheers Brett, seriously flattering words there :) We think there should be more films about 'normal' people doing epic things!
Nothing normal about running 100 miles though!
Not normal. In the Royal Australian Infantry we call blokes like this "Freaks of Nature".
I was never much of a runner. I just did it to stay moderately fit. But in April 2022, I discovered trail running and was inspired by the stuff I saw on RUclips.

As someone who is currently trying to get into utmb this is a stunning piece of film. So good to see a bunch of normal blokes going for it

Amazing!!! I got goosebumps from this film. The further I've ran so far is a 50k. Can't fathom running a 100 miler or UTMB. Great job guys!!🤘
Thanks Zoila :)
extremely touched by the acknowledgment at the start of the film
Thanks Noah! It's the least we could do to respect the amazing country on which we ran and filmed.
Awesome film guys. Thanks for sharing this experience and all the raw emotion. You have yet again stoked the fire of UTMB for me!
Thanks so much Jason. We really wanted to capture the experience of UTMB. It's a killer!
Great video, really felt the emotion. I finished my first Ironman last year, I can relate with pain, training,dedication and emotion . Family and friends are key for the support you need to accomplish a goal like this. I am in the middle of training for an Ironman in July.
Incredible Christopher! We'll all be rooting for you with that next Ironman.
This is fucking incredible. So good to see it from the perspective of normal blokes. Great job.
That's exactly the angle we were going for - normal blokes doing extraordinary things. So glad you enjoyed it!
That was tremendous.
Cheers, Marc :)
Absolutely loved this. Goosebumps all the way through!
Wow, I have seen a lot of ultra running films, and this definitely marks a spot amongst the best out there. It was refreshing to see the stance from a non-elite pro runner viewpoint. Though, they are definitely elite, I have been a preparing for a 50k and it's tough work.
Good luck with your 50K prepping - big respect to anyone who gets out there and does it. So glad you liked seeing things through the eyes of non-elites and enjoyed the film!
Really enjoyed that lads, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, David.
Such a great film thank you 👍!
Glad you enjoyed it Lauren :)
Super effort to all three guys. From the comments here seems the video creators are getting all the wraps!! ha ha! yes the video is super too. from an Aussie in Utah
Glad you enjoyed it, Paul. The three guys are legends and we have been so inspired to work with them and discover the trail and ultrarunning community. Hope you're well in Utah!
Beautiful! Makes me even more anxious to get out of Covid Quarantine!!!
Nathan are we just torturing ourselves watching all these great running vids while there are no races haha? Can't wait for covid to be over
Yeah Nathan you and us both! Desperate to stretch our legs and return to 'normality'... really glad you enjoyed the film either way!
Bought back the emotions of CCC UTMB for me. Great effort all three guys for getting to the start line. The last climb is brutal.
Cheers Ian, great having comments like these from people like you who have actually taken the race on!
Great effort 3 amigos! And brilliantly captured!
Cheers Mark! And thanks for taking the time to watch our other videos too :) we're glad you found Broaden's channel!
quel souvenir ! thanks a lot for this film, i remember me running and walking. I have the storm from La Fouly in my memories for ever. It's a very realistic film with good music !
Great movie - far more than 100 miles !
Appreciate it Adam!
AWESOME lads, truly. It’s unreasonable to ask that you do UTMB again for Steve, but I hope to God you will.
Cheers Lewis! I'm sure Steve will be back to rectify that DNF one day.
An excellent video. I'd love to have a crack at this race one day.
Do it! Got to be one of the most stunning settings too. The race of a lifetime
WOW! i still have tears in my eyes. a very captivating story! i laught, i cryed, and it inspired me to keep pushing my limits. i really wanna do finish UTMB and you guys showed me how hard it is and i have to really prepare for the beast. and i laugh every time you go asked "will you do it again" and instant answer NEVER :)))) IMHO the more you go for this type of hard adventure (gradually) it is less and less torture, pain. your video really made me take a deep breath and reconsider how soon i would apply for UTMB.
seeing this video and many other Ultra videos made me realise how faaaaar away from our true potential we tend to live. if you compare to normal person, you guys and any ultra 100mile is SUPER-HUMAN - GOD like.
once i heard the voice of spirit in my head saying "you have no ideea how capable you are, what you can actually do" i will never forget that vibe. so true. now whenever i train and hear the voice of "oh i cannot anymore," i replace it with the first one.
many blessings to you! thanks for the video. i will watch again! i donate because i would like more videos like this.
Many blessings to you too, Ian! We are all so so happy you found The Hundred Miler and you enjoyed it too. Best wishes, Pat, Jacko and Steve (runners) and Bryony & George (filmmakers). Thanks!
Amazing video of your journey! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Glad you liked it Keith :D
Fantastic doco! That certainly won’t be the last time I watch it, absolutely love it!
Thanks Adam, repeat viewing is the best kind of compliment! :)
What an AMAZING film George and Bryony! So beautifully produced, I never thought that I would want to do an ultra but this film has shown how hard, intense and rewarding it is! Well done!
Ultras seem to do that: make you want to do something you previously thought was crazy.... glad you liked it!
Great film, really enjoyed it, thanks ..... Best line '' F@ck No'' right at the end 😂😂
Haha yes it had to end with a bang! 🤣
Such an amazing story guys. Truly inspiring
So glad you enjoyed it Dean.
Amazing story guys! You made me laugh and cry! I was there racing as well but this time (2019) I had to DNF due to injury. I laughed on the part where you answer "Never!" to the question "Would you come back to UTMB again?" because that is the same answer that I had after each and every race... but hours later I'm there sitting and searching for qualifying races because I miss all those feelings and emotions that I had the opportunity to experience during the race! All the effort, the training, the sacrifice, the qualifying races are worth the effort.... even if you have to DNF (like I did). It's OK because we love the sport, the people are amazing, and the stunning trails we run on are spectacular and immense! Well done guys! Awesome film! Thank you! :)
P.S. See you in Chamonix! ;)
Aramis, this sort of comment means so much to us. Great to know it touched you as an ultra runner and someone who has experienced DNFing as well. here's to many more races!
