- Documentary film by @dylanleeder featuring Ultra Runner, Evan Birch. A story about the intersection between running and mental health. An opportunity to run toward, rather than run away.
The documentary follows Evan's journey after a two decade career in emergency services and a diagnoses of PTSD, alongside his relationship with ultra running. Pushing the edges of human potential, all while coming from a place of joy, self-love and a deep respect for the journey he has taken both mentally and physically.

Dylan and I are excited to see everyone at the 📽🎞premiere tonight! Engage in that chat and share in the experience together!
Very powerful! It’s amazing what the human spirit is capable of doing. I’m so glad you found your way forward through the processes of running. One step, one mile, one day at a time.
David I truly appreciate the kind words and time you took to watch and share your feedback on what you took away. As you say one step at a time!
This is why I gravitate towards long distance running. It gives you that ample space and time to process whatever you need to deal with. Such an inspiring short film!
Jerson, thank you for taking the time to watch and or share the film. There is definitely something freeing about being on the trails that hits differently.
This was beautiful in so many ways. Thank you for advocating for first responders and emergency responders. Signed, a wife of a firefighter who experienced ptsd ❤️
Mel! Appreciate your kind words and that it resonated with you on the level it did. Shared experience is a special thing.
Fantastic video! As a former emergency responder (RCMP) also diagnosed with PTSD, this hits hard. Happy for you, man. Thanks for this.
Chad thank you for watching and sharing a bit of your story. This is so much more than a running documentary. Thank you for your service and your time to leave a comment. ❤
Love the story and triumph over challenges! So much meaning, hope, and inspiration in this video!
Chad appreciate your time and kind words to watch the Doc and share within your circle.
Wonderful journey Evan! Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations Evan and Dylan on this incredible documentary! It turned out more beautiful than I could have imaged. I got emotional watching this! Evan you have such an incredible story, and one that is going to help and inspire so many people. You should be so proud! Mitch and I are sure proud- not just to have you on our team but to know you as a person. Keep up the amazing work!
Wow, just wow. Thank you for your support, belief and friendship. You and Mitch are unwavering in your support and I am so grateful for that and to have you in our circle!
Amazing job, Dylan!
I second that!!
Thanks for your service 🙏 just dealt with losing someone on a training hill
Appreciate you taking 11min of your time to watch and also comment. My hope is that this will reach those who may feel the same as I once did.
It's surreal watching this back, such an incredible story, Evan. Dylan, you did an amazing job with this. Thanks for trusting us with the post, it was an honour!
You far exceeded our expectations, thank you for treating this with so much respect and attention.
Awesome video! Such an inspiring story and such incredible footage. Very well done 😊. I agree with Evan about the healing journey…. It’s not about running from but running to…. Running (and its community) + Therapy = Magic. Way to lean into the healing and to conquer a tough race. Running and life have so many parallels. Amazing video. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to watch, comment and share. I never knew what this would morph into and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
