SYNOPSIS
Running has reached new heights of popularity and what once seemed like an achievement – running a marathon – has almost become the norm. When the exceptional becomes ordinary, how far will a person go to accomplish something deemed “a feat”? Les ultras sheds light on the world of extreme long-distance runners, those athletes who keep pushing their personal limits, in distance, speed and difficulty, sometimes at the expense of their own health.
