A need for self reliance and a desire for discovery have fueled years of awe-inspiring human feats that have motivated runners, cyclists and climbers around the world. Rapha’s new film, Anton, dives into the motivations behind renowned ultra-runner Anton Krupicka’s pursuits…

In March, Anton Krupicka set off for a self-supported, 2,000-mile bikepacking loop starting and finishing in Santa Fe, linking established routes throughout New Mexico and Arizona. He planned to travel across vast landscapes and use his full breadth of mountain experience to summit five technical, backcountry desert peaks along his path. It was a bucket list adventure for Anton, but one that didn’t go to plan. Through his journey, he was reminded of a simple lesson that sits at the heart of why he does what he does.
