Running Home – The Run4Water Story is one of heart and soul, of hardship and joy, and of one woman’s journey towards overcoming the seemingly impossible and rediscovering the feeling of home.
Over the course of 11 days, clean water activist and adventurer Katie Spotz, best known for breaking a world record as the youngest person to complete a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean, ran 341 miles across the state of Ohio breaking yet another incredible world record – the most ultramarathons run consecutively by a female. Fueling her journey was the goal of funding 11 water projects in Uganda with every step getting us closer to a world where everyone, everywhere has access to safe water.
Katie’s inspirational journey was followed by thousands, hooked by the idea of an ordinary woman doing extraordinary things. Woven out of footage directly from the journey by The Leighton Co., Running Home intimately and unflinchingly captures Katie’s journey, challenging viewers to embark on their own version of extraordinary.
