To Kosci and Beyond - An Ultra Trail Kosciuszko Story

Ultra Trail Kosci - Rain and friends for life. Seven friends from Wild Earth Australia took on Ultra Trail Kosciuszko 2024 through the Snowy Mountains and found something bigger than finish times. It rained, then rained more, and somewhere between headlamps and cloud we traded individual goals for a single mission: get everyone home. “If you want to know what trail running is like, it’s this… seeing two to three metres ahead, in the pouring rain, questioning my life choices for the eighth time.” — Brody, ~80 km into the 107 km This film drops you inside Ultra Trail Kosci: a race paused for 90 minutes by an alpine thunderstorm, then restarted with even bigger hearts. Two brutal courses. 50 km with about 1,300 m of climb. 107 km with about 3,000 m of gain. Sammy choosing early mornings with mates over late nights and discovering what that choice unlocks. Buha charging to 3rd overall and earning her way to CCC at UTMB. And Eli regrouping to be the support super star. Friendship, grit, and the moment you realise the only way out is together. Shot in one take as the story unfolded. Nothing staged. All heart. A short cut of this film featured in the 2025 RunNation Film Festival Australian Tour.
