1000km of Chaos

Описание: The gripping true story of an Irish Amateur Ultra Marathon Runner's extraordinary journey to dominance in the sport of Arctic Ultra Marathon Racing. This documentary unveils the remarkable efforts Kevin Leahy undertook in Ireland, to train for and conquer two consecutive 500km non-stop self-sufficient foot races in the Arctic wilderness.

With temperatures as low as - 40, wearing regular trail runners, dragging everything required behind him on a sled, day and night, through sleep deprivation, hunger, exhaustion, with the constant imminent threat of frostbite and hypothermia. The sport poses a very real threat to his health, his safety and sometimes his sanity. Winning offers no prize money, no gold medal and very little glory.

Filmed over two years, through the havoc of the pandemic, this is a story about the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit, told against the backdrop of the most beautiful, remote and harsh running conditions in Ireland, The Yukon and Lapland.

1000km of Chaos gives a deep insight into what it takes, to achieve greatness in a sport only contested thousands of miles away, when every possible obstacle is put in your way
