THE FILM
THE PROJECT
In late summer 2019, the ultra-distance and then daily ("streak") runner Anthony Horyna ran the full length of Germany.
1900 kilometers in a row.
1 marathon a day.
45 days in a row.
To motivate, inspire and encourage.
Courage to meet yourself and life.
Every single day.
Again and again.
THE RUN
Projekt 19/19 followed the German Section of the European long-distance path E1 and led from the very South to the up to northernmost Flensburg.
The total distance added up to 1.947 km with about 41,000 positive meters in altitude.
It started at the end of July 2019.
Finished September 10, 2019.
On the World Suicide Prevention Day.
THE MESSAGE
“With Projekt 19/19 we wanted to draw attention to depression and suicide in an unusual way. Topics that are still taboo in Germany. We wanted to do our part to change that. Actively. We wanted to show that despite challenges and pressures, you are able to keep on going. One step at a time. Every day anew. Again and again.
In the daily marathon, just like in life.”
– A. Horyna
