The Hard Way | Running, Aging, and the Power of Perseverance

Meet Bob Hayes, an 89-year-old runner who proves that age is just a number. Running 30 races a year, cutting firewood by hand, and training for the Bighorn 50k ultramarathon, Bob chooses to do things the hard way—staying active, alive, and full of purpose. As he nears 90, the toll of long-distance races grows, but Bob’s determination never wavers. This inspiring documentary is about more than running—it’s a lesson in living life with intention, resilience, and momentum.
