About the Film

This documentary follows Christoph Strasser's incredible journey at the Race Across America (RAAM), one of the world's most grueling ultracycling events. The film captures the physical and mental challenges of racing over 3,000 miles from coast to coast across the United States.

Race Across America (RAAM) is an annual ultra-distance road cycling race that starts in Oceanside, California, and ends in Annapolis, Maryland. Racers must complete the journey within 12 days, cycling day and night through 12 states, facing mountains, deserts, and unpredictable weather conditions.
