The Ruby Muir Story

Ruby Muir is one of New Zealand's most promising young trail runners. At just 21 she had won the Kepler, Tarawera Ultra and nearly every other event she'd entered. This is the story of how she discovered running, what drove her to it and how it has helped her heal. This film was shot in one day at Eskdale Mountain Bike Park near her home in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.

I lost my mother to lung cancer and it is definitely something that is a reminder for me to maintain my fitness. Running is a great therapy

You are amazing!! I am a trail runner here in British Columbia, Canada. I fully understand what you mean when you talk about clearing your thoughts and connecting with memories when you run. If you like technical trail running and you ever find yourself in this part of the world, you would be hard pressed to not fall in love with our terrain and trails. Keep on running!! Richard

the coolest thing is how she is able to exercise control over the force of gravity (see 00:14 as her shoe flies up from the ground and into her hand :-)

She is absolutely inspirational! ...and to run that distance in Vibram FiveFingers, especially the very minimal Seeyas, is a huge achievement! Great video. Thanks

Touching story. I lost my father many years ago and I feel him through the swimming. I get your point of view on the trail. ATB Mark.
