Shooters

Shooters is a short film about obsession. Ultra-runner Ellis Bland is dedicated to not only breaking records – but also to challenging himself, over and over again. 
Having grown up in a family of fell runners in Lancashire, he has been running up Shooters Hill since he was five years old. Since then he has run it hundreds of times. 
Running at full pelt on this gravel hill climb requires maximum effort, even for those used to running ultras. On his 122nd recorded time he broke the record – and hasn’t gotten close to it since.

“Shooters is definitely an obsession of mine. There is nowhere else in the world where I train like I do on Shooters.”- Ellis Bland, Ultra-runner and co-founder of VÅGA
