GRIT | Running across Iceland from north to south

In the summer of 2022, three amateur trail runners set out to run across Iceland. Spanning 340 kilometers across barren landscapes, lava fields, rivers, and rhyolite ‘rainbow’ mountains, the famed north-to-south traverse from Akureyri to Vik demands several weeks for advanced hikers. Scotswoman Julie Hewison, Frenchwoman Marie Gamen and American Carol Passarelli plan to cover it in just eight days.
An incredible story of partnership and perseverance, GRIT follows the trio throughout their attempt, getting up close and personal with the extreme physical and mental demands that ultra distances entail, and confronting the question: what is pushing the limits, and what is going too far?
“I do hope that, if anything, this can redefine what grit and tenacity looks like.” - Carol Passarelli

Awesome film, beautifully directed, inspiring stuff, and congrats Team on a phenomenal achievement. I just completed my first marathon run I enjoyed it but it was tough, and it hurt, but I wanted to complete it and finish the process/training even though as I was reaching the end of the marathon the crew dismantled the finish line 😂😂😂I start training for my first Ultramarathon in a weeks time 😀👍

[@mammut]

THANKS 🙌

[@sharikd]

340 kilometers and less than 30 minutes of video. I'm just disappointed, that such great achievement has such short representation.

Amazing film! The story helps to show how, although Grit is one word, its meaning is multiple and depends on each personal journey.
