Every Year is the story of Jack Higgs, a runner you’ve probably never heard of, but one who has quietly shown up to the North Fork 50 Mile every single year since it began. He isn’t chasing records, sponsorships, or headlines. He’s not trying to prove anything. Jack runs simply because he loves to run.
As trail running has exploded from a small, grassroots community into a booming global sport, Jack has remained steady - showing up, running his race, and carrying on a tradition that has outlasted canceled races, changing times, and even his own slowing pace.
Through Jack’s story, Every Year reflects on the evolving world of ultrarunning, the spirit of North Fork, and what it means to keep showing up, not for glory, but for the love of the trail.
