An ultramarathon is defined as any race longer than 26.2 miles. But, of course, with anything that extreme, such a measurement can only be understood as the start of the story. 

New documentary follows the competitors racing at the front of the three-day, 80-mile, CLIF Coast Ultra Extreme and explores the mindset required to enter, complete and even win, such a gruelling event. The team at endurance sports TV are exploring what it is to be an ultra athlete tackling a multi-day event at the three day Coast Ultra Extreme around the Cornish coastline, in a new documentary to be launched next week – an event that resulted in a win for two debutants to multi day ultra-running.
