“UTMB is not conquerable by a human, it's conquerable by the human spirit. And you need to harness the spirit in order to accomplish the goal.”
Jim Walmsley discovered ultra trail running through an unconventional journey. After participating as a track athlete in high school and college, he transitioned to the military, serving in a nuclear missile silo in Montana. He was eventually dismissed, leading him back to running, where he emerged as one of America's top ultra trail runners.
Following impressive records at the Western States 100, Jim sought a new challenge: the infamous Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB). Despite initial failures, he committed to enhancing his mindset and training, bringing him to relocate to France with his wife, Jess.
In 2023, Jim achieved a historic victory, becoming the first American man to win UTMB in a thrilling mid-race twist. He now joins the ranks of great American women who have triumphed in the race before him.
Watch Jim’s journey to the UTMB podium and beyond in the feature-length documentary: WALMSLEY THE FILM presented by Wahoo + HOKA.

Privilege to be able to watch this for free. What an athlete.

@Pandozzi 11 дней назад

Major respect for Jess as well. Uprooting your whole life to a new continent where you don't speak the language, all to support your partner and their passion is admirable!!

Je pense exactement pareil que toi . C’est dans ces moments là que je me dis que j’aurais mieux fait d’écouter en cours d’anglais j’aurais peut être tout compris au lieu de la moitié.

I put him second to Alex Honnold in terms of endurance athletes, but yeah he’s the man.

@VendettaMax 13 дней назад

Loved the whole film but the moment when he acknowledged the American female runners who have won the race before him saying "They paved the way" was an absolutely emotional peak of the film. You don't hear male athletes say that every day. Fantastic.

Thank you for this film. Thank you for it being free on RU-vid. I love these types of docs where we get to see the human side of our favorite runners.

@thomasbannelier4625 17 дней назад

François crewing him (while he himself couldn't run that year because of an injury) really shows how great of a sport that is and was a highlight of the film to me. Just two of the best athletes in the sport supporting and inspiring each other!

“UTMB is not conquerable by a human, it's conquerable by the human spirit. And you need to harness the spirit in order to accomplish the goal.” What a great perspective to live by.

Never thought I’d cry during an ultra running documentary on RU-vid, but here we are.

@MrBrownie77 14 дней назад

When Jim is in the aid station and tells her he’s sorry but he doesn’t think he can hold them off really put a lump in my throat. What an effort. Great documentary!

@hohiro2069 14 дней назад

Such a wonderful scene! Yes, I was looking for who was cutting the onions.

@hugoalmeida9266 3 дня назад

in that scene I could see myself in 2022 when I was so close of giving up because of stomach aches and cramps. I said to my partner I was going to leave race but she moved me out of the station and put me running in front of her. She was a huge part of my way to Chamonix. It was so inspiring watching a giant like Jim with the same kind of doubts as me, and be able to push forward.

Best running film I've watched in my life, hands down. I teared up when Jim was saying "I'm sorry if I don't hold on" to Jess in 2022. What a unwavering human being, what a fantastic couple!

@andyrajeckas9422 19 дней назад

Even though of course I knew the outcome, the 2023 UTMB race coverage was so exciting. I felt like I could feel what Jess went through during that race. Wow - I did not know about . . . well, I don't want to spoil it for others, but the finish line is super special. Thank you!

Love your content, your passion, your abilities, your commitment, your message. I don’t follow to see how fast you race, I follow because of all of that. Nothing but the best for you, you’re running, your channel, and your family. If I can be selfish for a moment, please keep putting out content. But if you don’t, I know you’re just out there living life.

This film is one of my favorite endurance athlete documentaries I have seen on RU-vid! The camera quality, the absolutely awe inspiring shots of the mountains, and the drone footage was amazing! Well done wahoo + Hoka! Ansel Dickey what an amazing job you did with this film and the photography was just insane! Jim you’re an inspiring athlete and I cannot wait to see how much more you grow as a runner and as a person! @wahoofitness
