Like a Lead Balloon: 30 Hours at the Leadville 100

beautiful.

Well done, Jeff!

This was so inspiring and so well done thank you so much for sharing your story!

Im training to hopefully do the hardrock 100 my family has been in Ouray for over 100 years now. I am a mining engineer and a 6th generation in the industry. My family has been deeply rooted in hardrock mining in the San Juan Mountains. Due to the mines closing we moved to Montana when I was in 2nd grade in 1997. I have lived in Montana since but I really want to do the hardrock 100 I feel a deep calling to complete in that run.

Kind of a disappointing film, especially considering Billy Yang's earlier (and astonishingly good) work. There wasn't anything about actual running here, or the course, or the journey, just some uninteresting wealth manager talking. All 100-mile finishers have incredible mental endurance, so repeatedly pointing that out as his strength was a little odd. I don't know, I guess this bland American Dream pull-yourself-up story just didn't resonate with me at all.

As soon as i saw Billys sign i knew this was going to be a great film.

From one grieving parent to another…. I see you. I lost my daughter due to a heart condition at birth in 2020 and that’s why I found running. Thank you for sharing some of your moments with her with us.

Loved this story! Billy, again, great job!

" we are all broken', amen, and if we ever understand that and learn to live with more respect for one another then the world will ultimately be a better place.

Oh Billy...just beautiful in so many ways. We all carry baggage we weren't meant to bear. Resilience is a wonderful thing.

Excellent film. Amazing story. The description of processing other types of pain, through the experience in the pain from running. Well said. God Bless.

Incredible!

Freaking awesome!!!

Note: the race had been going on for two years before the mine closed.

Such a meaningful and powerful telling of Jeff’s story. It was an honor to be a part of his journey. Also, it was such a privilege to spend time with Tony and Hillary… they’re just quality human beings!

Truly and utterly inspiring story. As a dad of two boys, I constantly strive to show them the hard work but more importantly the reward.
