Meet Serge & Nicole

This is Serge and Nicole Roetheli, in February 2000 they left their home in Switzerland to embark on a journey that I cannot even begin to comprehend; to run around the world!

Running the equivalent of a marathon every other day, Serge runs, over 25,400 miles in five years, while his wife Nicole rides her Yamaha motorcycle. Using their personal camera they captured the footage used in this film. Excerpts from Nicole’s personal diary reveal their experiences, adventures and accomplishments throughout their journey together and have resulted in the creation of this movie; "Beyond the Epic Run".

They traveled through 37 counties on six continents. Risking everything for this experience. It’s an amazing story of an athlete and his loving wife’s physical and mental strength.

The movie can be seen in selected cities check the website for more info, I will have a DVD giveaway for this soon so stay tuned. Here's the trailer and and an interview with Dean Karnazes talking about it. There are several more videos available at YouTube.

    Great post, I can't wait to watch this movie. I love his quote, "when you have a reason to give up, its just an excuse". I will let that be my mantra in my next race.

    Why do they play the movies that I want to see in select theaters? It looks like only one showing right now:(

    Looks like a pretty bad @ss movie, looks like something you would do:) If only everyone could take off 5 years of work.
