When we talk about races that have shaped the history of trail running, the Hardrock 100 quickly finds a special place. Created in the early 1990s, this race is tinged with a romantic history. The Colorado region, marked by the gold rush in the mid-19th century, boasts some of the highest mountains in the American territory. This unique blend makes this race a true adventure, a quest akin to what miners pursued in their time, seeking the hidden gold in the underground tunnels.
This year, French trailrunner Aurélien Dunand-Pallaz ventured onto these mythical trails, seeking not only the self-transcendence intrinsic to ultra-distance running but also new horizons. He aimed to discover new mountains while running—mountains taller than those surrounding him in the Alps, grander and wilder. Yet, he also aimed to explore an entirely different culture within a sport that seems similar. He wanted to delve into the community, to discover the counter-culture that trail running represents in the United States, the birthplace of ultra running, through interactions with local runners.
Premiere this 14th of November in Annecy at the TECHNIQUE TRAIL-RUNNING film festival
