Introducing the 2025 Trails in Motion Film Tour. Six inspiring films that will make you love the great community of trail running even more.
The proceeds from these screenings will feed into Project Noordhoeked – a local greening community initiative. William Chirwa (one of Project Noordhoeked’s team of three) is the star of the show in one of the films (Good Will Running). We will also be premiering a very short film on Karoline Hanks’s Chappies Everesting challenge which she completed in July this year.

Lots of excellent raffle prizes up for grabs on the night like entries to a few premium ultra trail races in SA, wines, gear from Gone Outdoor Supply Store. …and so much more.

William is a Malawian living in a township in South Africa. Making ends meet is his sole goal, all the while sending money back home to his family. Along this journey, his employer and ultra-trail runner catalyses his fitness career. William builds up his endurance by cycling, and eventually running, to work. It becomes his mission to train for and win the UTCT - a coveted trail-running race in Cape Town. Parallel to his newfound passion for running is William's blooming curiosity and love for nature, inspired by his work for a non-profit organisation. William's beautiful perspectives weave a hopeful and optimistic worldview of our innate interconnectedness - both with nature, and fellow humans, on the trails.

Les sommets libres is a documentary that traces the inspiring journey of Ulrich N'Djinke.

Now an educator and sports coach, this 34-year-old Franco-Cameroonian has since been dedicated to involving young people from the neighborhoods, encouraging them to take ownership of a world whose history has, until now, always been written without them.

For several months now, Martin has been taking part in a series of high-profile races in the hope of achieving the kind of success he achieved in 2021 with his great victory in the Mont Blanc 90km. Injury after disappointment, he became trapped in a negative cycle that many top athletes experience. This summer, encouraged by his friend and race organiser, Martin is taking part in the ultra-distance Challenge de Montcalm in Ariège: La PICaPICA. A hotbed of trail running, love of the mountains and passion for trail running, Martin started out here several years ago. Finally, he's back, ready to take on this extraordinary race, 109km and 11500m+, with the aim of rediscovering his passion for the mountains.

TALK TO FRANK:
Runtime: 5 minutes
Directed by: Matt Green
Produced by: Summit Fever Media
Language: English
Country of origin: England
My name is Frank, and I'm a cocker spaniel from Manchester. My story began when I moved in with Maleek, my human. He wasn't in a great place—having just finished a four-year sentence, he found himself transitioning from one prison to another: the COVID lockdown and a debilitating depression. I gave him no choice; he had to start walking me. One walk led to another, and soon we were running. Before he knew it, we were on our way up Pen Y Ghent, his first mountain. The mountains are his spiritual home, he needs them just as much as I do. His ambition is to run in the Alps. To push his boundaries and tackle a route higher and further than he has ever been before. So that's our plan. Together we are going to go to the Alps, we're going to see the peaks, the ridges, the summits, and we're going to heal together.
