"Alex Honnold on the final load carry up the Great Gorge to our ski plane pickup. Notice Alex only has one heal lifted? That is because he broke his binding earlier that day and had to strap his boot to his ski, essentially making him have to literally limp for 5 hours uphill with over 100lbs of gear. It falls into the 'character building experience' category and he didn't complain once."

Racing takes a special breed. People who can weather the highs and lows, the triumph and the pain cave. We captured the emotions of runners during our Endurance Challenge trail race series to give faces and stories to these dedicated competitors. Here, runner Vlad Ixel waits in anticipation at the starting line. “This was moment of security before what's about to come, to what I've trained so long and hard for. For me, the start line is full of complex emotions where I'm scared and nervous, but above all I'm ready."
