Jared Ewing is a disabled veteran from Ohio. Seven years ago, surgeons removed his calf muscles and Achilles tendon. They told him his running days were over. Ten months later, he finished the Columbus Marathon.
He's now attempting the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, one of the most demanding challenges in endurance sport: four 100-mile races in a single summer. Old Dominion, Vermont, Leadville, Wasatch. If he completes it, he'll be the first adaptive athlete to ever do so.
We're making a documentary about it. Every dollar raised goes toward production and post-production for filming the remaining three races. Any funds beyond what we need will be donated to an adaptive sports charity.
Jared's race results look like anyone else's. His name, his time, and nothing else. No marker to show he ran 100 miles without a calf muscle. No category, no division, no checkbox. That's true at nearly every race in the world, from your local 5K to the most remote ultras on the planet.
Adaptive athletes are out there competing. They're finishing. Some of them are winning. But the infrastructure to acknowledge them simply doesn't exist. Jared isn't asking for special prizes or separate podiums. He's asking for recognition, a place in the results page that says: someone like you was here, and they made it.
This film is about Jared. But it's also about every adaptive athlete whose name appears in a results list with no way to know what it took to put it there.
