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. Kilian Jornet, the young mountain runner and two time Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc champion, from Spain.

While their lives may be quite different, the goal is the same: win the Western States 100-mile run. A win will require breaking the course record and running the fastest time in the history of the race. An epic showdown ensues, from Squaw Valley, CA in Lake Tahoe, up though the high snow covered Sierra Nevada Mountains, down through the extreme heat of the American River Canyons and finishing in Auburn, CA.

Though all four are undefeated, three must break and only one can remain Unbreakable.

    This is quite possibly the best ultra film out there. The shots, the story, the athletes. One in a million chance of it all coming together like it did, and what a result. Thanks JB and J for posting this!
  • My son Fabian participated in this 2010 race, I was his 1 man support team. We traveled on a shoe string budget from New Jersey. He finished 28 hours at age 17, in his Senior Year @ Annapolis. So proud, we had so much fun!!!

    Gordy Ainsleigh : "I could still take one more step, so I decided to take one more step until I could no longer take one more step" this is gold.

    Not an Ultra, not even a runner. But I am a fan of people. This was a great way to spend two hours.
  • This documentary got me into running at 40 years old... what an inspiration
  • @kentcyclist5330
    The way Kilian just bounds down that mountain - majestic. What a talent.

    It's incredible how in the space of ten years the sport has changed so much. It no longer feels like a frontier, the domain only of eccentrics. Nowadays to have 4 strong runners at WS100 would be considered an extremely shallow field. We owe a great deal to the folks who pioneered ultrarunning and got it to where it is today.
  • Thank you for putting the whole thing on here for free - much needed distraction from corona
  • Years ago this movie was my intro to the sport. Most of my friends are now from this community. Really grateful to the people involved in the making of this beautiful film.
  • I like the fact that Anton runs with a dress shirt ! Who needs all those Hi-tech t-shirts anyway ! :P
  • @jonroig8751
    I ran WS100 this year. Harder than it looks! Finished in 27:40... TWELVE hours behind those guys 😜 Thx for making this available again... brought back a lot of great memories
  • @marklishmael
    At 48:16 when Kilian darts off down the trail it is as Anton said, "... he just bounds down the switchback like an antelope..." Wow!
  • @Extolguitarest
    These four men are legendary, not just for their running. Seeing them interact with others is inspiring......such good people
  • @AlpineRaven
    Well, again, I find myself watching this amazing film. I don't even count the times I've watched it anymore but every damn time it gives me more inspiration. It's just freaking beautiful. Thank you so much to all of you who made this film and this event possible. ❤🙏

    "Today more than 2000 people qualify" Ahh, the good ole days
  • @seank7809
    Now that the sport has become incredibly popular, why can’t anyone make a documentary about it as good as this?
