Delta Junction resident Brookely Bellinger will premiere her new movie The Mount Marathon Experience on July 2 for two showings; at 7pm and 9pm in the AVTEC “Student Service Center” 519 4th Ave. Seating is limited, so come early and with the new construction the parking is very limited, so walk, run or carpool if you can. And the best part its FREE to the public
Here is what it’s all about; Alaska’s favorite extreme mountain race comes to life in this documentary that explores the attraction of this legendary race. Climb 3,022 feet with 71 year-old “Ultra Geezer Jock of the Year” Jerre Wills of Homer, AK as he attempts to beat his record setting pace from the year before. Follow on the heels of ordinary folk and elite athletes as they crawl up the 35-60 degree slope then fly down the other side at break-neck speeds through rock, shale, snow and a creek. Enjoy the thrills from your armchair as racers endure 3.1 miles of torture in what is the second oldest foot race in the country.
Why do they do it?
How do they do it?
This might just be the craziest race around. And that’s just how Alaskans like it.
