Winner Gets Cake

In competition

Summary


“Brakes off, brains off.” Journey to the upland, impossible-to-predict terrain of fell running and experience the chaos, culture, community, and cake that defines this very British pursuit.

As Ben Rothery and Finlay Grant vie for the English fell running championship, we are introduced to the cast of characters and lifers who keep the races going year-in, year-out. From weekday rat catcher/weekend race director Mike, to 74-year-old legend Wendy, with over 1000 races under her belt, the film captures a quiet resilience. A portrait of physical endurance, community spirit, and unassuming triumph.
