Austin Marathon Sizzle The film

The story

The anticipation, the nerves, the grit, and the celebration of running a marathon with friends. Bennett rides every one of those emotions, from the pre race nerves to the mishaps out on the course to the celebration at the finish.

How it was shot: Jake covered Bennett from the shake out run and bib pickup all the way to the end. On race day he rode an e-bike along the course, tracking Bennett and Jordan from mile 9 to mile 17, then peeled off to get ahead of them for the finish and everything after it.
