Film Description

After a successful film festival run, The Endless Mile is now available for streaming, bringing the inspiring journey of Jimmie Barnes to your screen for the first time. At the age of 85, Jimmie attempts to set a world record by walking 114 miles in 48 hours—a feat that transcends the race itself, exploring life’s fragility, family bonds, and the universal power of human connection.

Jimmie’s journey into long-distance running began after the devastating loss of his wife and daughter in a span of just seven years. Grief-stricken and searching for healing, he turned to running as a way to cope with the overwhelming pain. What began as an outlet to navigate his grief transformed into an obsessive commitment, ultimately leading to the silver lining of community and purpose.

Interwoven with moments of humor and heartfelt emotion, The Endless Mile is not just about a race, but about a man’s quest for healing and meaning. When an unexpected medical condition threatens his ability to complete the challenge, the film unfolds in a profound way: the pursuit of an extraordinary achievement may not lie in a distant competition, but in the journey home.

Through this personal story, we hope to inspire reflection on the power of purpose, the importance of connection, and the resilience of the human spirit. One man's path to healing, his commitment to running, and the community he found along the way, may resonate deeply with viewers and spark introspection about their own paths to longevity and healing.
