Movement as Medicine: Helgi Olafson running the Cocodona 250

Movement as Medicine is a documentary covering Helgi Olafson and his crew as they work together to complete the 2022 Cocodona 250. As many ultra endurance athletes know, in order to complete such challenging events you must tackle the race with purpose.
As a patient advocate of an autoimmune arthritis disease known as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Helgi doesn’t simply race to complete the course. Helgi races to maintain his own health and to inspire others suffering from the same disease.
Helgi's crew is composed of six pacers, two pacers who have also been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Together, Helgi and the crew demonstrate the value of working together to inspire one another, and hopefully those around us.
