Today we announce the release of “The Runner”, a Documentary Movie by Paolo Casalis and Stefano Scarafia, produced by Bodà (Italy).

The Runner

“The Runner” is the story of Marco Olmo, a living legend of extreme running. He became late, when the others started to stop. In his

“previous lives”, as he defines them, he has been a farmer, a truck driver, a workman.

Running has became is his reason for living, the way to take his revenge on his hard destiny. At the age of 58, winning the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc, the most difficult and important endurance race in the world, Marco Olmo has become the undoubted World Campion of Ultra

Trail, an almost unimaginable speciality, 20 hours of continuous running in the high mountains or in the desert, where mental and physical training and personal motivations are fundamental.

Despite age, physical problems and always younger and more prepared opponents, he doesn’t want to stop. For one year he prepares to face the Mont Blanc again, to run for 167 km (over 100 miles) around the tallest European mountain.

This competition, which for two consecutive times has consecrated him as a champion, could become the last of his career. Marco must win, to show himself that he can still do it.

This is his story.

The movie is subtitled in English, French, Spanish. For further infos, images or to see the movie’s trailer, please visit http://www.unpassodopolaltro.it.
