Running from Depression
Legendary Canadian ultrarunner Rob Krar has joined forces with the Movember Foundation to raise awareness of the crisis in men’s mental health. Rob became a star in the ultra-long-distance running world after winning second place in his first 100-miler in 2013. But, his biggest struggle isn’t running 100 miles. For Rob, Movember is far more personal. The short film offers a glimpse into how long-distance running and talking about his mental health have helped Rob from Hamilton, Ontario, deal with the pain of his chronic depression.
