Running For Good: The Fiona Oakes Documentary tells the incredible true story of Fiona Oakes, who overcame a disabling physical condition and defied all odds to become a champion ultra-marathon runner.

Known as "the toughest footrace on Earth," the competition is a grueling six-day endurance test over 250 km in the Sahara Desert.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Keegan Kuhn, Running For Good: The Fiona Oakes Documentary was shot in a series of spectacular locations, from the Sahara Desert to the North Pole and Antarctica.
