Norseman Xtreme Triathlon: Untold Stories of the Hardest Triathlon

Editor's Take

A portrait of the Norseman, widely called the hardest triathlon on Earth, where competitors swim near-freezing fjord water and finish on a mountain summit. It is as much about why people seek out suffering as about the race itself.

This documentary follows the Norseman Xtreme Triathlon, widely regarded as the hardest triathlon on Earth, as hundreds of athletes race through the fjords and mountains of Norway. Competitors swim in near-freezing water, cycle punishing mountain passes, and finish with a grueling summit climb. The film captures the extraordinary endurance and the stories behind those who take on the challenge. Gripping and inspiring, it is a portrait of human limits.
