Suffering is something humans are designed to avoid at all costs. So when someone chooses the path of most resistance, we find it odd. However, only that person can truly answer what drives them to remain on that path.
For ultra runners Laura Kaplan and Keith Hayes, we find two different motives for engaging with suffering. Faced with a DIY endurance project less than 5 people have completed, they explore their relationship with hardship and suffering in real-time.
Winding a network of trails and hitting the halfway point at a 14k foot peak, their journey takes them from their front door through iconic locations outside of Boulder, Colorado.
To and From is a story steeped in regional history as experienced by two athletes learning about the impact of their own life events as they attempt their unique project.
