Summary: An amazing DVD about an amazing runner
Comment: I'm not an ultramarathoner (yet), but really enjoyed watching this movie. Seeing what he goes through is quite amazing. Even my 70 year old mother-in-law was inspired and amazed. If you are looking for an inspiring movie on extreme running, this one is a much see.

Summary: The Runner - INCREDIBLE
Comment: What a powerfully motivating story, amazing coverage of a very impressive journey by David Horton. Actual footage of the journey is woven into a number of background threads which add depth to the context. Additionally, the DVD has an enhanced feature where at any point during the video, you can examine a detailed map of his journey at the actual point in the movie. For the outdoor enthusiast, a must have. For anyone considering tackling this journey or one like it, a hard look at the challenge.

Summary: C'MON PCT! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!
Comment: This movie has inspired many quotes that my husband and I now use for motivation during our training runs. David Horton might possibly be crazy and I'm not talking about distance running. Hilarious, quirky man with a passion for running and God. It would be a great movie to see if you like distance running, trail running, or the Pacific Crest Trail in general.

Summary: My 4-year old loves "The Runner'
Comment: I am a long time distance runner, biker, nordic skier and fast-
packer and hiked the JMT in 2006 and have dreamed of thru-hiking
the PCT for many many years. For my birthday last year my wife got
me "The Runner" and I have enjoyed watching it many times. It is
a fantastic film documentary and the scenes, the music and dialog
(and monologue) with David Horton really make this a great film in
the genre. However, I must say that the most ardent fan in our family is my 4-year old daughter who likes watching this film even more
than me! She knows most of lines from memory (for example: "I am
not a backpacker - I am a runner", or regarding snow in the
Sierra's "Do I want that, Do I wish that? No!!") She was captivated by David Horton's character on screen and I think that is what has drawn us both to this film. It has also turned her into a little runner. Overall a great film.

Summary: Shot in Remote Locations
Comment: What is amazing is when you think about the fact that The Runner was shot all on trails while running and hiking hundreds of miles with an HD Camera and the challenge was filming someone who never stops moving.

Editorial Reviews:

THE RUNNER follows Extreme UltraRunner David Horton through the desert sun, the high snowbound mountain passes, the pain, the emotion, and his revelation. Join him as he runs more than 40 miles per day for 66 consecutive days in an attempt to set the speed record on the 2,700 mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.

Director and former PCT thru-hiker JB Benna follows Horton’s journey and discovers who he really is. Learn about UltraRunning, the PCT, and the history of this amazing person through interviews with today’s best endurance athletes, his family, and David himself.

A great adventure, a movie that makes you laugh, and a movie that makes you cry.
