SuperNova: The 100 Mile Dog (2025) Official Documentary Film
SuperNova is a film about Nova, a 7 year-old Hungarian Vizsla, her ultra-running Dad, Evan Birch and her crew chief Mom, Cassie Hawrysh. A story about trust, instinct, and the magic of moving together. It goes far beyond any start or finish line; it is a love letter to how impactful our dogs are to us. Since Nova was a puppy, her and Evan have been inseparable on the trails and they are finally ready to take on something big; The Orcas Island 100 Miler in February of 2025. The Orcas Island 100 has 8200 meters of elevation over four gruelling 25-mile loops. Late winter and early spring conditions meant rain, fog, wind, mud, and long hours of darkness overnight. This was the perfect stage to attempt what may seem impossible by most standards and see just how far he and Nova can go together before she settles down and becomes the "couch dog."
