In 2023, we embarked on a journey to capture the heart and soul of the Midwest ultra-running scene. Over the course of five races and more than 150 hours of footage, we discovered the inspiring stories of remarkable athletes pushing their limits.
The Ultra Pickle Project brings these stories to life, following three extraordinary women at the top of their game and three brave first-timers taking on the challenge of Superior 100, one of the toughest races in the Midwest. This documentary celebrates the grit, determination, and community spirit that define Midwest ultra-running—told by the runners who live it.
We did it!
This fall we’ll be featured at the Twin Cities Film Fest and The Fresh Coast Fest in Marquette, MI! Go grab your tickets early! No, like right now

Why Pickle Juice?
Trail and Ultra runners are a strange bunch. Happy to beat the rooster out of bed, push ourselves to exhaustion, eat whatever will stay down. Sometimes we’re lost metaphorically and literally, but through the miles and with the help of humble pickle juice, we find ourselves. Join us on a new trail that celebrates the Midwest trail-running community and shares all our stories in a new film we’re making with all of you. Can’t wait to talk to you.
