Unbreakable: The Western States 100 - Journeyfilm Official Trailer A new Film by JB Benna and Journeyfilm coming 11-25-2011. Visit http://www.ws100film.com for more info.
Synopsis: On June 26, 2010 four of the greatest ultramarathoners on earth toed the start line in Squaw Valley at the Western States 100-mile endurance run, the oldest and most prestigious 100-mile foot race.
Journeyfilm's forthcoming documentary "Unbreakable: The Western States 100" follows the four lead men on this amazing journey. Hal Koerner, two time defending Western States champion, and running store entrepreneur from Ashland, Oregon. Geoff Roes, undefeated at the 100-mile distance, an organic chef from Juneau, Alaska. Anton Krupicka, undefeated in every ultramarathon he has ever started, a graduate student living in Boulder, Colorado. Killian Jornet, the young mountain runner and two time Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc champion, from Spain.
The film shadows each runner from the pre-race preparation in their hometowns to the daily life they each lead in and outside of running. While their lives may be quite different, the goal is the same: win the Western States 100-mile run. Only one will win and the journey is unforgiving.
With unprecedented access, the film takes the viewer on the course and with each of the crews, pacers and family members who are working to get their runner across the finish line. From battling injury to surprising changes in the lead, to in-depth interviews with race champions and ultrarunning figureheads, "Unbreakable: The Western States 100" showcases perhaps the most exciting race of its kind.
The Race:
(Description From Wikipedia) The Western States Endurance Run, known commonly as the Western States 100, is a 100-mile long (161 km) ultramarathon that takes place on trails in California's Sierra Nevada annually, on the last weekend of June. The race starts at the base of the Squaw Valley ski resort and finishes at the Placer High School track in Auburn, California. Runners climb a cumulative total of 18000 feet (5500 m) and descend a total of 23000 feet (7000 m) on mountain trails before reaching the finish. Because of the length of the race, the race begins at 5:00 A.M. and continues through the day and into the night. Runners finishing before the 30 hour overall time limit for the race receive a bronze belt buckle, while runners finishing in under 24 hours receive a silver belt buckle.

Salomon Team - Hardrock 100 miles http://www.salomonrunning.com/
If you're a trail runner dreaming of an extremely tough and different race, then the Hardrock is the one for you. It may even quickly surpass your wildest dreams, in view of the challenges posed by the route's 33,992 feet of climb. First held in 1992, this legendary race follows a loop starting in Silverston, Colorado (USA). It is dedicated to the memory of the region's miners, who made most of the paths used in the race. The toughest challenge is undoubtedly the average altitude of around 11,186 feet, with 13 major passes located above 12,000 feet, the highest point on the course being 14,048 feet on the Handies Peak pass!
