The Mountain Runners is the incredible true story of America's first mountain adventure race. Run in 1911, the grueling marathon utilized a stripped-down steam train and modified "Model T" autos to deliver runners to the base of Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot volcanic, glacial peak.With nothing but their wits and the clothes on their backs, these pioneer athletes attempted to summit and return to town for $100.00 in gold.Many would start, few would finish.Told in a docudrama style, the film incorporates never before released historic images,  archival film, visual effects, and recreated dramatizations staring WILLIAM B. DAVIS (X-Files, Smoking man.) The film is narrated by KEVIN TIGHE (LOST, Emergency, What's Eating Gilbert Grape) and is well supported by a cast of  historians, descendants of race participants and a group of world-renowned experts in their field. Interviews with multiple contemporary world-champion athletes including: alpine speed-climbers and climbing author, Steve House and Chad Kellogg; ultrarunners Krissy Moehl, Scott Jurek, and Doug McKeever; and Second Wind author Cami Ostman, reveal a look back at the accomplishments of their endurance-athlete predecessors with astonishment.Runtime: 90 minutesWebsite: www.themountainrunners.com
