Hellen Obiri runs a marathon: A film by Andrew Hinton

Discover the full story

Follow Hellen Obiri's incredible story in the documentary shot by award-winning director Andrew Hinton. Preparing for her marathon debut in NYC means leaving her home in Kenya to train with coach Dathan Ritzenhein and the On Athletics in Colorado, US.


No athlete can succeed at every distance. Or so they say. But Hellen Obiri aims to achieve the impossible. She’s competed in the 1500m, 3000m, 5000m and 10,000m, and is the only woman to win a world title in indoor track, outdoor track and cross-country.

She traveled halfway around the world to train so she could take on her next mission: her marathon debut in New York. It was an outstanding performance to witness. Hellen brought home a breathtaking 6th place and she’s only just getting started.

What do you do when you don’t win on your first attempt?

Dream On.
