Synopsis

Harrowing hallucinations. Flash floods. Sleeping in church parking lots. What sort of crazy race had this recent retiree volunteered for?
Sometimes “ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.” Real-life senior citizen Marc Frost dabbled in trail running for years. With his knees and feet slowly failing, he reaches a crossroads. The time has come to hang up his shoes and put his collection of last place finisher medals in a box. Instead, he signs up for a 332-mile ultramarathon featuring some of the country’s best distance runners. Through a combination of stubbornness and sleep deprivation, he reaches “The Rock” a week later as a surprise top finisher! Experience firsthand how haunting hallucinations and deadly deluges can be overcome by the average person with preparedness, determination, and kindness of “road angels.”
