THE RUNNER
Love, pain, revenge. The true story of a worker who became
the Ultra Trail World Champion at 60 years old.

"In life I'm a loser.
I was born poor, as I am poor still now.
I run to revenge myself, I run for vengeance."
Marco Olmo, 2008

Synopsis
Marco Olmo is a living legend of extreme running. He became
late, when the others started to stop.
In his “previous lives”, as he says, he has been a
farmer, a truck driver, than a workman in hisvvillage’s
cement plant. For twenty years he has worked in a quarry on
his family’s land, just wherevthere was his native house,
sold before he was employed.
Running has became his reason for living, the way to take
revenge on his hard destiny.
At the age of 60 he has became World Champion winning the
Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, the hardestvand most important
endurance race in the world, over twenty hours of
uninterrupted running, 167 km (over 100 miles) around the
tallest mountain in Europe.
An almost unimaginable speciality, where mental and physical
training and personal motivations are fundamental. Despite
age, physical problems and always younger and more prepared
opponents, he doesn’t want to stop. With his wife
Renata’s help he prepares for a year, to face the new
edition of the race that made him champion. This competition
could become the last of his entire career.
Marco must win, to show himself that he can still do it.
