Have you ever wondered what it would be like to roam a human-free world? A world without the trappings of man-made beliefs, devoid of disconnected thoughts! What would this strange landscape look like...? Would it be strange at all...? Would it echo the call of nature as if cavernous and infinite, or would it lay silent and still with only the sound of your foot steps murmuring your experiences? One can only imagine the freedom, an untethered escape to a place where night and day are only subjective limitations of the mind. Where the commune with nature is as mystical as the day of creation, and the understanding of one's self is a deeply satisfying deluge of emotion. Have you ever wondered?

Introducing the 2020 Ledlenser Trails In Motion Film Tour, four richly unique films that set out to highlight the the lives of some of trail and ultra running's most prominent characters, and in the process, sharing not only their deep connection with their local community, but also the challenges they face as they continue to pursue a life guided by the trails. Screening in Bellevue, WA on April 14th, get your tickets and join like-minded trail runners and adventure enthusiasts as they come together in celebration of #trailrunning. Go on, what are you waiting for...be a part of the Trails In Motion experience!

Coming Home - Paddy O'Leary grew up in Wexford, Ireland, but didn't discover his love and talent for running until he moved to San Francisco. Now, he is returning to Ireland to take on the fastest known time on the self-navigated 115 kilometer Wicklow Round, and to rediscover his home through the lens of running.

Leadman – The Dave Mackey Story -- Former Ultrarunner of the Year, Dave Mackey was revered for his toughness well before May of 2015. After a serious trail running accident lead him down a difficult road to recovery, he is back and taking on one of the most grueling tests of endurance, the Leadman — 5 events spanning just 2 months, with the legendary Leadville 100 Mile Ultramarathon as the grand finale.

Human Powered - Every year, trail runners from around the world line up to test themselves at the grueling Finlayson Arm 100km on Vancouver Island. Human Powered looks beyond the finish line, into the community of dedicated volunteers who bring this event to life.

Frosty - On the surface, Anna Frost looks like a competition-driven elite ultra runner having won some of the hardest races in her sport. One would probably think the desire to win is what drives Anna to trail run. To her, trail running is a gateway to connection. Connection to nature. Connection to community. And ultimately, connection to the self. The film will get viewers stoked to learn more about the fabled, “Frosty” yet she is about to go through the hardest challenge of her life, Motherhood.
