This is one of the best ultra documentaries I've ever seen. Very well done.

I don't know why I got emotional watching this. I don't even know you and I'm so proud of you.

I'm not sure which would be tougher... Running 240 miles or dropping $1,500 on a race..... Haha in all seriousness you're a beast and this was an awesome documentary!

Imagine running 213.8 miles and then being told to go run a marathon.

for all those people trying to "find themselves" this isa good way to do it

This is the first time in my life i can genuinely say i'm proud of someone i don't even know. This is beyond amazing. Good job and good luck in the future to you man.

"We are going to head up there towards the moon."

One of the most beautiful and inspiring videos I have ever seen... Drive, Emotion, Pain, Love, Top Editing and Music ... It had it all !!! Thank you Wes !!

Good job buddy. I can only imagine the mental fortitude something like this takes.

All the feels....having done the Tahoe 200 in 2018, I relived my finish watching yours. I'll be doing Moab this year and loved getting a glimpse into 240 miles of awesomeness. Thanks for sharing your journey!

"I came here looking for a challenge - I think I got it!" Well don race and well done documentary!

Absolutely insane effort, Wes. Thanks for sharing! Must have been amazing to know that your wife and family always has your back during such a long run.

I will cry the day I finish my first 121 Miles (excitement & accomplishment). Thank you for uploading this.. I just added this to my bucket list.

Thank you for a documenting a beautiful, once in a lifetime, spiritual adventure. The music and video were perfect. Truly inspiring!

Fair play Wes. Two things i loved about this video: firstly the way you conveyed progress with the graphics and secondly the brutal honesty of it. No hiding just how tough this was. It's a fantastic effort and you are no doubt rightly proud. I loved seeing how much pleasure those around you got from this too. Real family and a real strong team. Well done.

Wow what a amazing film. Watching your mental and physical battle nearly had me in tears. Your support and the people walking with you made all the difference I think, just fantastic. It seems so so extreme but so beautiful at the same time, well done👌 👏👏👏

This had me in tears. Thanks for the content brother! Peace and love

Fantastic achievement Wes! I've only done half marathons so far but aspire to maybe one day be as brave and strong as you to take on a challenge like this!

Congrats from across the Atlantic Ocean.You are so strong. With this video, I recalled what's important in life - family and friends. You are a lucky man to have such a wife and family!

Wes, this documentary on your 240 mile run was probably the most impressive thing I have ever seen on KZfaq. It is inspiring! You are a tremendous athlete, well done!

I almost cried watching this, man... Congratulations!!

This video was awesome and nicely done. Loved all the maps and Google earth updates throughout the video.👏👏👍👍

Wow, this is just amazing. Very inspiring . For someone trying to be an ultrarunner, this just came up at the right time.

Man, I've been struggling lately, but seeing the sun and landscapes coming through my screen along with your crazy determination, really makes me feel that good times will come. Awesome work man 🙏

This is one the best documentaries I've ever seen.Simply,inspiring and takes you to a adventurous journey! I'm not even kidding.Keep it up brother

WOW!! This is hands down the best and most inspiring documentary I have watched 🔥 respect to you sir ... What a great accomplishment 🙌🏼🎉 peace and love my brother ❤️

Dang I’ve never cried so many times watching any movie. That was fantastic. I know what it’s like to be alone and feel absolutely exhausted and what a crew can do for the mental. Congrats. Just subbed

I hiked 19 miles/5,500 ft of elevation gain in a day once and thought I was a savage, haha! Great job man, I can’t believe anyone is physically capable of doing that race. You’re a legend.

Ah, that was so good! Nice job on the race--you had such a strong attitude the whole way. Going to watch your other vids now. Who the hell downvotes good content like this?!?

Wow, such an amazing achievement, and such an amazing video. The Google earth stuff really helped get a view on what you were going through. Enjoy the buckle!

Just here to echo many other comments, I do not know you, much like others but you are an extremely motivational person. So glad I found this documentary. Awe-inspiring, shout out to your amazing support team too, every seems like truly great people.

The gratitude and grit in you made watching this a joy. I am so afraid of that distance but I know I want to try it one day. Thanks for sharing your journey Wes, just incredible!

This was amazing to watch. Your grit and character during the lows as well as the highs were so impressive that it nearly had me in tears. Well done!

The editing on this video is phenomenal. The google earth stuff is really cool.

I'm in awe. What an amazing accomplishment. Your video is inspiring, your positivity and your strength are palpable. Everything in this video is beautiful, the views, your comments, the music, your crew was amazing. So classy! It was relentless forward progress.

"Wait. We gotta go up THAT hill?" I felt that, hah. Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the journey.

Congrats! I've been up Pole Canyon. That is no joke and at that point in the race... wow!

Awesone vidéo! I’ve also done Moab 240 last year! they're memories that are unforgettable! Nice work Wes and thanks for the beautiful video!

To think “my hair is gonna look different at the end of this run” is crazy to me! I love it!!

Incredible documentary, thank you for taking the time and thanks KZfaq for putting it in my feed :)

Very inspiring! Thank you for taking us along on your journey & congrats on your accomplishment!

$1400? I never knew signing up for ultra running was so expensive but, The scenery view of the mountains are absolutely beautiful.

Why would anyone 👎? You are a hero and warrior. Thanks for sharing your beautiful experience and struggle!

I have NEVER wanted someone to finish a race as much as I wanted you to get there, absolutely awesome, thank you for sharing from your mind, body and soul. Legend.Wes.

Awesome work, thanks for sharing, loved watching - What an amazing place to run, I have done a couple of 100's, a 145 mile, a 200 mile run from Big Ben in England to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and will be toeing the line for the Thames Ring 250 here in the UK next year, on the very day of my 50th Birthday, cant wait, your video was Inspiring. What's your next bog race?

Q: What's it like to run the long ultras? A: 23:03

@WesPlate You are an inspiration, a motivation and an all around SAVAGE BEASTOR!!! I was crying happy tears for you as you crossed that finish line - so amazed and proud of your accomplishment! Outstanding! Bravo! Bravo! =) And the quality of your video recording & editing was top notch! The vistas you showed us make me want to check out those (short) trails myself!

Incredible documentary! I cried multiple times and it inspired me to get out and run more at 45 years young

Awesome!!! Wish Candace Burt would drop the "own damned fault" nonsense that doesn't fully hold water. So off-putting. Otherwise love her races.

Just wanted to say you did a great job in the race and such a wonderful job on the film! Also I wanted to say that you have such a big and wonderful support team. You don't realize how much you need one until you don't have one.

This is exactly the type of video I wanted to see. I’m so glad I found your channel, thanks for sharing!

You are an inspirational human being. I'm amazed by your strong will, how you manage to control your emotions, and even with the pain you continue to keep moving forward. You have the best crew out there, the support your family brings to you and most of all the kindness and the cheers of your wife with every station is beyond motivational. May God continue blessing you and your family. Hope to be there one day.

Wow, really well done! In tears as I watch you finish. 7 months and 7 days until I try this crazy. I know I will watch this video many times between now and then.

Running can bring you home again.❤️🙏 1001 Blessings.

Loved everything about this. Not over-produced, just a good capture and story of his journey. Nicely done!

Watched the whole thing, its captivating. The edit is great with Google Earth stuff and tracing the routes and everything. 240 miles is insane. You better get your head checked. :-D :-D Thank you so much for sharing your experience. With all the negativity online these days, it's so good to watch an epic journey with a happy ending.!! Congrats on making it through. Good luck out there.!!

Haha wow. Scenery was awesome but I was holding my breath by the time u crossed the line. Great job Wes.

I love this documentary, you're so motivating, including your family and friends that supported you!

The google earth parts help visualize just what a tremendous distance this is. Great video!

Here comes again a perfect example of a good KZfaq algorithm. Unlike a lot of other people doing such documentaries, you utilise the perfect atmospheric background music that complements your commentaries and is perfectly aligned with the beautiful sights. I appreciate this so, so much. Too often weird sounding music is playing in the background, distorting the overall image. Your documentary, on the other hand, is very raw, and therefore so much easier to grasp and feel and enjoy it. Thanks for manifesting my goal to continue running longer and longer distances to one day being able to make a 100-miler or even something like Moab. Much love from Germany, Nick

Super inspiring man. Your videos have such a chill vibe. They are a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing!

What a great video. Wes you always were helpful when I worked at Avid hooking me up with automatic duck demo licenses. I have never talked to you in person, great to see you in real life. Keeping rocking those trails, if you are ever in Dubai, we have some great trails here too. Deeps

Liked this video after her first sentence, the levels of positivity in the ultra running community 🖤🖤🖤

This mans attitude and stamina is out of this world! Absolutely amazing. Very motivating!

Doing hard things. 240 miles and being a good husband and father. Good man! Well done.

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing it. Brings back such vivid memories. Moab was my first 200. Epic endurance experience. See you at Tahoe!

Damn ..240 miles without proper sleep and injured hamstring can’t even imagine ... great documentary... but have to give credit to your crew and specially to your supporting family.... congratulation sir all the way from India 🇮🇳..

David Goggins claims you need to become a savage to suceed . Wes Plate just cruises through like a true gentleman with a smile on his face and the spirit of comradery with his fellow runners.

You are a good film maker. I enjoyed your video immensely.

Such love from your team - incredible achievement 🫡

Well done! That was a beautiful moment when you saw your daughter.

That pole canyon hike was BRUTAL!!! I felt the same way. Lucky you had a pacer with you. Congrats on the finish! Very impressive

Bravo sir 👍 I’m just about to do my first ‘ultra’ (Ambleside 60km, Northwest England) it’s only 37.5 miles but it’ll be the longest distance I’ve attempted, and this film gives me such fantastic inspiration to go on to bigger distances Hope to do Moab one day, all the best pal 👍

you are a blessed man. So many people love you!

Stunning video, brilliant editing, stunning views and inspirational content Looking forward to now watching the other videos

Ourstanding documentary, outstanding motivation, outstanding accomplishment, outstanding scenery! What else can I say except for OUTSTANDING!

U the rock, u look fresh in the race and u have a wonderful support and wife. Well Done.... thanks for sharing with the world. God Bless

Breathing taking, love the goggle earth captions, fantastic journey, really cheering for Wes

I know that feeling of "what have I done" after sending in the money and form!

All I can say is thank you for all the recording and documenting your experience for so many of us who will enter this crucible of liberation in your wake. Godspeed brother.

Awesome man!!! What an outrageously strong effort and beautiful accomplishment. I now know that I will never attempt to go so far but have at least share golden moments with you, a true warrior.... Greetings from South Africa...

This video was awesome. So cool to see one man push himself past all limits. You sir are a beast 💪

Toutes mes félicitations depuis la France. Bravo et Merci pour ce magnifique film.

Amazing stuff Wes and team, I was emotional just watching you, can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions you must have gone through. Bravo.

Very inspirational and thoroughly absorbing to watch. I am 57 and very new to running ( actually I have actively avoided it all my life ) I have gone from zero to 10 km over the past 2 months and this video has made me excited about running gradually longer distances. I am sure I will watch it again whenever I need inspiration. Many thanks.

What an unbelievable achievement. So much grit to keep going

"Moab does not disappoint" it really looks like an amazing place to do something really quite amazing!

Great video. I enjoyed watching you push through the distance and the mountains. Congratulations on your finish!

I just stumbled on this video early this morning and it was great in every sense of the word! 👌

Life is can be terrible and amazing.I am touched by this

Just watched this here in South Africa, WOW...double wow. Amazing how you kept sane and motivated yourself throughout this crazy awesome race. You are one mentally tough guy. Well Done dude.

This is such an epic journey. I love the music, the videography, everything! It really inspires dreams. I've been running for 22+ years with trail ultras for only the last 7 years or so. Still working my way up to my first 100-mile. But as you know it is a long slow journey to get there. Maybe some day! 50-mile is definitely on the list for this summer. Cheers, keep up the lovely videos and most of all have fun out there!

Not sure how I came across this - but wow. Absolutely incredible documentary brother. Thank you for documenting this, it was a pleasure to watch and so inspiring! What a great and loving support system you have. You crushed it dude. Thank you again 🙏🏽

Excellent documentary video and what a beast this man is unbelievable what the human body can endure well done 👏

200k views? That's the stuff people should watch... Thank's for sharing a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. I really loved watching every second of it! Keep it up and all the best to you and your family. Greetings from Germany ;)

always a classic, Wes's first 240

i felt for this dude so many times in this video. I'm setting up to do this and many more ultras right now. Hitting my first marathon in april

I know that given time and motivation most of us could attain sufficient fitness to enter a half marathon or even a marathon. What blows my mind is how after 200 miles on virtually no sleep when you hit the wall so that you can barely think and everything hurts and yet you still find the mental resolve to dig in and push on through. This is what separates ultra athletes from the rest of us poor mortals.Part of me loves the idea of doing something like this but I know that I’d cave in when it got hard ( in my current level of fitness after about 10 miles)

I cried. Such an amazing achievement. Awesome job guy.

Outstanding documentary! Congratulations on completing a very tough event.
