Hard Miles, Quiet Fire

PC: Matt Westlake

Ethan Peters isn’t new. But his 2025 season may be his boldest statement yet.

In August, he crushed the Canadian Death Race with a time of 11:36:52, smashing the course record by nearly 40 minutes. That race lives difficult—steep, muddy, technical conditions. He owned it.

Then, in the Alps at TDS, he placed 23rd in 22:11:14. That’s not casual; that’s doing work in the arena elite runners call home.

What stands out is how seamless the shift looks—Death Race in BC, then TDS in Europe. It suggests more than raw effort; it suggests momentum, purpose, direction.

I saw the short preview from Point2Media teasing the full documentary. It doesn’t need to promise anything. The race results already tell half the story. When the full video drops, I want to see how he frames this run, this year, under pressure, between borders, between expectations.
