💾This is Neeraj's story... He was born in India and grew up with the typical norms and traditions of his community, spending a few of his key formative years nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the idyllic village of Nainital. In 1994, he had the opportunity to visit the US through an exchange program, and it was quite the culture shock. He ultimately stayed though. Settling in Louisville, eventually getting married and landing in a career as a Physical Therapist. And while n

💾THE FRENCH COMMUTE: I’ve been self-employed for five years since losing my university job. When Red Bull reached out and asked if I wanted to host a TV show interviewing athletes in far flung corners of the world I said ‘No worries…and I tell you what, I’ll commute to each shoot in my own Beauish way.’ So here I am, doing that very thing. First up, I rented a town bike from Geneva train station and rode to the middle of the French Alps where I interviewe

💾IN A TIME BEFORE FIREBALL...around mile 20, somewhere along highway 61 just north of Duluth, MN, Dr. Tonya hit a low in her first marathon, when suddenly four hands from the Reef Bar reach out with some much needed Jack Daniels. It was one of several inspirational moments that helped her complete her first of ten straight Grandma's marathons. Or there was the time when she moves to a new town and becomes a tour guide on her first day of living there! Or her lifelong love of horses and

💾NO SURRENDER: I was invited to run across Timor Leste, which is one of Australia’s closest neighbours- to our North. It’s a small and slender country that’s been at war, on and off, for 500 years. With ten other runners from all over the world, and with a mix of local and Aussie guides, we ran 100km over 5000m of dusty, steep, coffee-laden country. We dossed down each night in guest houses or tents, ate whatever the locals had on offer and settled into life on the t

💾Wes Cornett was born in Hawkins, Indiana...well, maybe not Hawkins, but basically though. While still just a kid, a bad breakup and a love of cheap tacos lead him to the military. After a 20 year career that included deployments in Bosnia and Afghanistan, his military career left a wake of hard realities...the loss of his best friend, struggles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, sobriety and his mental health. Eventually though, he found his footing and a love for trail running and hikin

This is dedicated to the immigrants, refugees, and those who are currently living in fear, and for everyone who is doing their best to use compassion and courage to look out for their neighbors and all of those who need our help.

💾My first trail race of 2025! The Zumbro 34 Mile Endurance Run, put on by Rocksteady Running. It was a great day and grand experience…well except for my darn knee, who decided that 17 miles was plenty 🤣. Oh well, had a fabulous time, loved exploring this amazing area and made some new trail friends to boot. Thank you to John, Dave and Molly for being part of my day and the film.
