Connected by the Outdoors

This month, we get an intimate look at the mind of trail runner and endurance athlete Keisuke Minami in Patagonia Films' Seeking South. In other stories, Derek Hynd contemplates life after Dave on the waves of Australia's Broken Head; we shed light on the obsessive specificity of rock climbing in our short film series Microbeta; one runner discovers the magic of trail running isn't really magic at all: it's the people; and Patagonia Action Works provides opportunities to make an impact locally or from afar.

Film, Trail Running

Seeking South

Seeking South follows trail runner Keisuke Minami as he takes on the fastest-known-time (FKT) challenge of the Grand Randonée 10 (GR10)-a grueling 914 km journey across the Pyrenees in southern France, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The route typically takes 45-60 days to complete, but Minami sets out to finish in just over 9 days.
