Running Across Vancouver's North Shore Twice in One Day - VANCOUVER 100K

[@JeffPelletier]

I've included a full list of both the running and camera gear I used in the description.

[@ChicagoTerrainFactory]

kudos to your wife for taking the day to support your run!

[@JeffPelletier]

Best crew ever! She did a great job filming as well.

[@raphaelkinney]

Loved this! It genuinely makes me so happy to have this sense that this is the equivalent of adults playing outside all day just like we would as kids. Envious of the community you have in Vancouver and can't wait for the next one!

[@JeffPelletier]

That’s 100% how I feel most times, especially when playing in the mud 😉. We really are lucky to have such a supportive and inspiring trail running community here in Vancouver.

[@maximedescoteaux6880]

Thats exactly how I anticipate all my training. I was running up mountain and in the wood as a kid. Im stil loving it now !

[@species5022]

The vibe in this film is just the best. The love, the friendship, the community, it all feels just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@MylifeofTao]

Very cool! Makes me want to do some trail running in Vancouver

[@janinemcneilly8941]

Thank you so much for respecting the Quarry Rock closure! As a park ranger in North Vancouver we had so many people try to sneak onto the rock despite it being closed due to covid and deteriorating trail conditions. It’s back open now!

[@MattShubert]

A new long-form adventure video from Jeff is an instant click for me, loved this one! The dude who made himself a whole pie to eat an aid station is absolutely next-level, that is something I aspire to :D

[@JeffPelletier]

I only wish I’d stuck around long enough to get a slice! Thanks Matt.

[@adelinedumas7801]

I love this community. Runners are just the best, I love this.

[@JeffPelletier]

We’re lucky to be a part of it!

[@afewmominutes]

The wipeout was awesome, perfect camera placement when it landed! Turned into a great shot. Great video all around!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Morgan! So glad I caught that on camera 😂

[@stevesutton8704]

And I will never complain about trails being too technical again! That looks insane!

[@dannygrays]

What an amazing film Jeff. Beautiful. Had to watch it all in one go! Love the support from your crew and the community you have. It's inspiring for me here in London UK with my first marathon in 8 weeks time. I watch your vids and think there are no limits and the possibilities are endless. Thank you for the creativity and story telling.

[@JeffPelletier]

Can’t love this comment enough. 🙏

[@nickjarvis3614]

Another incredible film, Jeff. And I love me some Wing Taylor cameos.

[@Nyanchan1919]

Who's that one dumbo who disliked this? I really look at your vids for motivation to get myself running! ❤

[@simonmercier711]

Another truely moving video. Thanks for all the creativity Jeff. You ROCK, more than that picture of the Rock rocking a rock!

[@gardengirl7446]

THANK YOU for filming and posting these videos of things I can no longer do because of disability!

[@SeeChadRun]

I just love the way that you 'tell the story'! I'm taking notes over here ;-) Great video, thanks for taking us along the journey with you!

[@iRonlMoNKleY]

This is the perfect video because it not only showcases your running achievement, but you also share with us facts about the land you traversed. You immerse the viewer in your journey while concurrently allow future trailblazers to plan their own trips. Bravo, Jeff!!!

[@jameister12345]

Jeff, you make beautiful videos. This one, in particular, is such an amazing tribute to the beauty that is the North Shore mountains. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@briceferrestudio]

Some really tasty shots there between the dam and Holyburn chute... That light was so perfect! Congrats on a great run!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Brice! We got lucky with the weather overall I’d say.

[@wingtaylor9175]

Nice vid as always - fun to see myself pop up on screen a couple of times. Fun running with you and Jeff and great work on the run.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Wing! Always great to run with you as well.

[@kevindecoteau3186]

This is great. I will be retiring in a couple of years and thinking/wanting to do an ultra as a way to celebrate. This gives me a good idea at the pace to move at. Beautiful area. Also, you have an amazing comunity and your wife is awesome to support you.

[@valgoesoutdoors1505]

Wow well done! I went to West-Canada in 2010 and since then Vancouver had been on my radar to maybe move there one day. It’s so awesome you have this beautiful wilderness literally in your backyard. Canada stole my heart and with this video I know why again. Have a great weekend!

[@AndreyXart]

You are the rock star !

[@Movtail]

I live in Belgium now but as a BC boy long for the mountains again. Baden Powell I miss so much!

[@KerryWard]

Great work, Jeff(s). So nice to see so many familiar faces and places. Love it.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Kerry!

[@kabel74]

That bowl of watermelons is like winning a simple pleasure trophy every 25 km. Another amazing video to run along on my trainer during lockdown. Keep it coming Jeff :)

[@marienixon148]

So beautiful! Nothing like that here in the UK

[@davidjessop491]

Amazing. Great to see so many familiar views of the North Shore from when I lived in Vancouver many years ago. Thank you for sharing your story with us, you are an inspiration!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks David!

[@markx9623]

Would love to visit Canada and hike/run these trails someday. Beautiful video! Well done. Regards from Germany.

[@JeffPelletier]

Danke!

[@martharunstheworld]

Wow, what an amazing trail and video!!!! I still don't know how you capture everything without falling. ;) Great job! **Oops, just saw the fall! Nice camera save!

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Great film Jeff! Looks like an epic run.

[@beachs7210]

Amazing to watch, gorgeous trails! Great job!!

[@paperjourni8964]

the videoquality you create while running is just mindblowing! pure dedication! Thank you for all this inspiration! ❤

Another great video. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Greg! And I appreciate your supporting the channel as a member 💪

[@shar7423]

You really earned my subscription and likes to your channel. Inspiring and motivational for me. This new year 2023 it's gonna be my biggest goal of life to quit smoking and start hiking this summer. Biggest fan now Jeff and wife ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@brookehoughton6267]

Your videos are the best!!! Thank you!

[@janetohlsen6712]

Amazing video! I want to be there!

[@mvdw8679]

Amazing film! Your soundtracks are always on point.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thank you! I spend a lot of time on music selection, so I appreciate that feedback. Can’t underestimate the importance of the right soundtrack.

[@Nick-B78]

Wow those trials are utterly stunning! Some parts, like you said about how green everything was, looked like you were in the Amazon 😊

[@tammymak8559]

Well done & thanks for your excellent filming in Vancouver, B.C. 🥰 Beautiful views with very friendly people here, GOD bless you 🙏

[@TomKroupa80]

The nature is breathtaking!

[@UltraDad]

Really cool video Jeff. I miss the Pacific Northwest! Looks like a great day and I especially loved the commentary from Audre (hope I spelled her name right)!

[@giorgossifnos1]

Paradise :) Excellent video . Thanks Jeff for sharing . Regards from Sifnos island - Greece

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Giorgos. Sifnos looks beautiful 🙌

[@diegodario1208]

Thanks Jeff! I'm from Brazil, your videos are an inspiration for us!

Thanks Diego, that’s great to hear!

[@mapeliam]

Exceptional. Need to get myself back over there as a matter of urgency. Great work, Jeff!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Liam!

[@garyloosemore2690]

Having completed the KneeKnacker, I don't know how you are able to concentrate on running at the same time as getting the shots you need to make a great film! Well done!

[@JeffPelletier]

To be fair, I did take a pretty big bail there after looking up at the camera 😂

[@garyloosemore2690]

@@JeffPelletier Top marks for a complete roll recovery!

[@juliustrinidad-t5l]

love it,thanks for sharing your videos

[@mjthecap]

you always make long distances look easy :) really beautiful scenes too

[@SwiftAnthony]

Wonderful trail, beautiful video

[@frabi23]

Must have been awesome to have so many nice people around! Loved the video!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks! We’re lucky to have such a supportive trail running community for sure.

[@nickgoodall578]

A friend and I are doing the BP from West to East on June 27th. Looks like key beta will be fresh socks and shoes to put on at the dam after post-holing across Cypress!

[@JeffPelletier]

That’s a good plan 😉. Have a great time!

[@cyruse7027]

Great video! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride :)

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Cyrus, glad you enjoyed it.

[@matsmith1984]

Jeff! Flipping heck am I jealous and wanting to buy a plane ticket to Vancouver. Those trails and so close to the city too. They look beautiful. Great video, as always and amazing effort.What a great community you have there. Inspiring stuff.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Matthew! 🙏 We really are lucky to call this place home.

[@thaltrails2374]

Awesome! As always a pleasure to watch

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Jakob!

[@mxlex9991]

Great stuff once again Jeff, awesome production and a strong run! I am so jealous of the nature you guys surround yourself with, looks almost magical! I've never been to Canada but I've always wanted to visit, have to visit Vancouver once this covid shit is over and run these amazing trails!

[@jakubsedlak7468]

Awesome video Jeff, its nice to see how much you were enjoying the run, congrats for a great finishing time!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Jakub!

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

Amazing day out in those beautiful trails. You made it look so easy. Congrats!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Javier!

[@SHAYZAC]

Your Rockwall video inspired me to do the trail this coming July 😀 Love your videos especially the long adventure ones like this! 👋🏻 from Edmonton

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks, glad to hear that! You’re going to love it.

[@waitej100]

I love your stuff man, thank you so much! Jeremy

Way to go Jeff! I always love your content! I'm also doing the QMT in August, I hope we will have fun there!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Arnaud! Hope to see you there 😎

[@GrumpyJackEh]

This has got me stoked. Doing half of this in mid July. Will be my first 50k! Can confirm that the snow is awful after hollyburn, ran a recon run last weekend and lots of post holing!

[@JeffPelletier]

Awesome, have a great time! Snow should be mostly melted by then, I’d imagine, given this heat wave we’re having.

[@john12ryan]

Bucket list on my next visit to Vancouver.

[@foreverSGE]

So awesome!

[@RealG-j2q]

Nice effort! Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@longstrideillustration]

[@sangitparajuli1227]

amazing jeff

[@generousbitcoinbillionaire]

I was so hoping to see you running past my house on this adventure. Almost but not quite. I think i saw you go down capilano. We are in North Vancouver. I have been watching Courtney Duawalter and everything ultra as I am hoping to do the 50k port moody run with my dtr in 2025. We have never even done a 5k...haha😂 Go big or go home!! If we could do it in 8 hours, I'd be so so so happy Love your videos. I'm still trying to figure out how your camera and rod disappear. ❤

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks! Those shots are filmed with an Insta360 camera which automatically removes the selfie stick from the shot 😄

[@generousbitcoinbillionaire]

That is fricken amazing. You're prob running right now w your computer around your neck answering texts 😂. It must get tiring holding it!!​Love following you and Audree!! @JeffPelletier

[@stevevanbrussel9177]

Now I'm considering a vacation to Vancouver....damn it's beautiful down there

[@JeffPelletier]

It’s a great place to visit, particularly in the summer 😎

Huge respect 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@vickysparadise]

New hiker, learning experiences, and everyone here your suggestion is much appreciated, 😀

[@BachaMegOutdoors]

Fantastic thanks 😊 👍

[@johncooper3171]

Hi Jeff Nice one👏🏻Jc UK.

[@erikkemper]

👊😁 Great vid.

[@irunovermountains]

Another fun video, Jeff. Good job on the run too. What do you think of the Go 2? I noticed some footage, but not a lot. I'm undecided on whether to add on to my arsenal! They don't look too robust for the types of races I would vlog.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Aaron! I’ve been using it a fair bit, but only when I need to be hands-free (Eg. Scrambling on rocks, using my poles, etc). The quality and lack of space leaves something to be desired.

[@ssylwester]

great shout out scouts and girl guides

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Excellent film and story well told! Question for you… I see your gear used list, but curious which camera you used at the start in the low light? We’re you using a gimbal as well? The low light quality was great!

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks Steven! That was shot on the GoPro Hero 9 using the GoPro Labs firmware, with the shutter locked at minimum 1/120 to help with stabilization. I’m on the fence about it though - It leads to pretty constant freezing and crashing which is so frustrating and such a time waster.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

@@JeffPelletier Thank you so much for the quick answer! Well it looks quite a lot better than my GoPro hero 8 in low light. It really does look quite good. I also really like the angles you get from the Insta 360 x2!

[@JeffPelletier]

The 360 is a great addition to my lineup for sure!

[@MrBassaman]

Super crazy. But totally awesome. Keep it upp. /David

[@kevbutler81]

Amazing trial, great vidio now on the bucket list. Dog friendly? Any wildlife risks? Thanks 👍

[@JeffPelletier]

Dog friendly, yep. We sometimes run into black bears on the North Shore, but it’s not a problem if you’re in groups and/or making noise around blind corners - they run away.

[@kevbutler81]

@@JeffPelletier Irish couple living in Edmonton so a coyote is about as wild as it gets lol. Just for the dog is all! Love the channel man I only found it a few days ago! Me and my race partner were going to try qualify for UTMB short race a few years back! We did the Hardman Ultra Ironman under the impression it was points accessible! Turns out they weren’t lol kinda took the wind out of our sales, they were just looking for numbers! Did the multi day coast to coast and I can’t count how many other races, but life and injuries got in the way 🤷‍♂️. Economy crash brought us to Canada were we have friend that have been hear for years, decades for some! Anyway I can’t half ramble on 😂 Myself and the wife are going to get back in the saddle so to speak and see some of this amazing country.

[@matthewrickett9592]

Awesome tuck duck and roll. Wished I catch all mine on the camera the way you did it. Almost like you planned it.

[@frackler7593]

i see you use the salomon sense 4 pro a lot can you make a review plz!

[@mountfairweather]

Nice! 🤯🤯 I find after about 45 km of running I start getting pretty bad cramps in the legs. What sort of electrolyte do you find is best for these huge distances?

[@JeffPelletier]

I typically just use salt caps like these: geni.us/QvjAT3 I find them easier to deal with than powders and tablets.

[@mpelletier62]

🔥🔥🔥

[@theroadnottakentravel]

3:12 Jeff how do you do that??? Is there a special software for it and is it free?

[@JeffPelletier]

Do you mean the little elevation profile graph? I created that in Adobe After Effects. Not free software though, unfortunately.

[@theroadnottakentravel]

@@JeffPelletier the route animator/tracer

[@JeffPelletier]

Oh, the animated map. I use Google Earth Studio for the map itself which is a free tool. You can import a GPX track to create the route. But I then animate it and add then location names and pop ups in After Effects.

[@theroadnottakentravel]

@@JeffPelletier that’s what I figured. Thought there was an easier way lol. Thanks
