Film: Lessons From The Edge
Ultra-runners, Ryan Sandes and Ryno Griesel set out on the adventure of a lifetime; to run Nepal’s Great Himalaya Trail in a fastest known time. Travelling light, without sleeping bags or a tent, and aiming to cover a distance of nearly 1,500km in under 28 days, they rely on the generosity of the local people to survive. A late winter results in brutal conditions and Ryan and Ryno are pushed to the very limits of their endurance as they battle frost bite, injuries and exhaustion. What starts as a film about an FKT quickly becomes a story about friendship, survival and core values as the two athletes battle the urge to quit.
Parking is at the Nelson Mandela Square Parkade (opposite Workshop17)
