The Daily Echo: The Participant (Short Film) Understanding the 100 mile distance: February 8, 2024

It’s been said that if you want to feel loved, run a hundred mile footrace. The amount of support and kindness surrounding ultra endeavors is beautiful beyond words, which adds to an already memorable experience and even more so when it’s that athlete’s very first time toeing the line at that distance. Dylan Harris had a village near and far supporting and rooting for him during his inaugural 100, Ring The Springs, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A Filmmaker himself who has chronicled the journey of so many other endurance athletes had his own adventure documented this past spring, and the full short film featuring Dylan and his journey, “The Participant.” Aravaipa Running is committed to the development of a vibrant community centered around being active in the outdoors.
