Safety to Nome

 This documentary follows the athletes who embark on a 1000 mile cross Alaskan trek (from Safety, Alaska to Nome). They can choose to either walk, ski or bike. This doc follows the bikers and, like the EcoChallenge, there are no rest areas etc. Each racer can choose to go 24 hours straight if they like. It is brutal and grand all at the same time. At just under 90 minutes, it is also the perfect length to get to know and understand the racers and journey, without getting bored by a 6 episode series. Fascinating what these extreme athletes will do.

4 stars (out of 5)
