BURN THE BOATS | 2024 Visit Beaver County Rabid Raccoon 100 Mile Ultramarathon

This is such a good vibe. While young men’s stories tend to dominate the short documentary format on ultramarathons, your story stands out as refreshingly authentic. You managed to transcend the hundreds of gym bros out there. Their stories matter too… but this is a real life “ordinary human doing extraordinary things” narrative that is so appreciated. Intentional, vulnerable, connected to purpose with legitimate insight. I never comment on these, but this made me so happy. Great story.

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! That's my heart - to share peoples' stories through narrative documentary filmmaking.

This is great content. This will blow up soon enough keep going bro❤

[@benjamin.kelley]

Thanks, and I'm hoping this helps Heath get some attention from some bigger races!

[@brennonpanovich]

This was sick, great work Ben! Heath’s a monster, just the beginning for him!

[@benjamin.kelley]

Thanks dude! He's a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't be surprised if within the next few years he gets a golden ticket to Western States.

[@Seebuds8769]

[@benjamin.kelley]

Thanks dude! Can't wait to see Ben's doc!

[@jkrules99]

This is so awesome. Well done putting this together.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Thank you! Running docs from people like Billy Yang and Ginger Runner are the whole reason I got into video, and now my two passions are combining!

[@GeeTee88]

What a stud, an absolute machine! Nice work bro.

[@benjamin.kelley]

He just kept going with no issues!

[@benjamin.kelley]

You know I had to...wait, I forgot Mike...and Ike too!

[@Wavygravvy]

Hell yea dude! Grew up just up the road from Brady’s Run, have done many adventures throughout that park. Still make it back any chance I can, way to get it done!!!

[@benjamin.kelley]

It seemed like a great course!

[@rafaelavecillas6680]

Signed up for the 2025… this will be my first 100m. I only run full marathons so I need to train for this…. Any advice team?

[@benjamin.kelley]

I'll ask Heath "THE MACHINE" and get back to you on that, since I've never run anything more than 50k!
