The Mountain Runners

The Mountain Runners focuses on the Mount Baker Marathon, which was first held in 1911 in Bellingham, Washington. This endurance race, spanning 28 to 32 miles to the summit of Mount Baker, was short-lived due to the dangers involved. The documentary presents the event in a docudrama style, featuring historical images, vintage film, and 3D effects that bring the story to life.

Produced by Goa-to-it Films, Jet City Films, and Family History Videos, the film includes performances by William B. Davis and Kevin Tighe. Collectors of documentaries and sports history will find value in the unique approach this film takes in recounting a significant yet perilous chapter in American racing history.

Available on DVD, The Mountain Runners is a notable piece for those interested in the evolution of endurance sports and the stories that shaped them.
