In The Joy of Running, we see Konstantinos Karnazis like we have never seen him before: more human, more vulnerable, but also mentally stronger than ever. In one of the most demanding races in the world, the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, as his body desperately craves rest, food, and water, his mind gives him another equally tough battle, fighting his demons.

The race gives him all the answers and reveals the priceless gifts that running offers to every runner, regardless of their level, from beginners to champions.

For Konstantinos Karnazis, it doesn't matter what you achieved yesterday, but the story you write every day, with every step you take.

Running is eternal".
