Unbreakable: Western States 100

[Julie Gardner]

I have 10 tickets reserved for the above film, which won the 2012 award at Sheffield Adventure Film Festival. It will be shown at 8pm on Friday 14th December at the new Castleton Youth Hostel. The tickets are £6 and the film runs for 1.30hrs. However, before the film Accelerate are doing a headtorch night run starting at 6.30pm. If anyone is interested there are 7 remaining tickets going, however I may be able to get more. Post interest on the forum please.

Please find a couple of reviews from 2 of the judges. I hope this wets your appetite and it will be the nearest most of us will get to run this race!!

Sheffield Adventure Film Festival Judge, Team GB duathlete and Adventure Sports Writer Nikalas Cook says: “My fellow judges Lucy Creamer and Tim Glasby and I were in total agreement about ‘Unbreakable’. The 2010 Western States 100 was a perfect storm of a race with four of the greatest, undefeated mountain runners on earth fighting to win the oldest and most prestigious 100-mile foot race in the world. Even if you already know the result, it’ll still have you on the edge of your seat right down to the final few miles.”

Fellow judge, Lucy Creamer, the UK's top female climber, says: "I’m not a runner, so having to watch a running film that was an hour and a half long was not an exciting prospect. But I have already watched this twice and now can’t wait to see it on the big screen. It is an extremely well put together film that combines different stories interweaved throughout to create genuine interest in these world class athletes; the race itself leads you towards an incredibly nail biting finish. How can a running film be nail biting? Well, watch this and you’ll find out. An absolute joy that almost made me want to go out running- not a hundred miles though!"
