For ultra-runner Damon Chavez, the Tushar Mountains are home. Raised in Beaver, Utah, he returns every year to the rugged Tushars 100K for a personal challenge on the terrain that has defined much of his life.
Damon treats the race like a passion project, applying the same patience and effort from his woodworking craft to the grueling 100-mile distance. This film captures the raw beauty of the mountains and the spirit of a runner battling one of the country's hardest courses, all while relying on his simple, powerful mantra: "Never Quit."
