What if running could lead to enlightenment?
This ambitious question is the heart of the documentary 3100: Run and Become. Based around the Self Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, the world’s longest certified footrace, this is an uplifting, intimate portrait of endurance runners who push themselves to the edge of physical and mental collapse, as they endeavor to challenge the boundaries of impossibility.
The Director, Sanjay Rawal, is a lifelong runner himself, and he describes a very interesting backstory behind this film which also explores the "Marathon Monks" of Mt Hiei in Japan, and Shaun Martin, a Navaho runner and race director.
"Running is a form of prayer. Running is a teacher. Running is a celebration of life."
