Ultra-runner Robbie Balenger attempts to outlast the battery life of a Tesla Model 3

Ultimately, this isn’t just a challenge; it’s a pilgrimage where Robbie must dive deep into the darkest of nights and the hottest of days, where his thoughts will race alongside, and he’ll not just question “will I make it?” but also “why do I run?” And his answer is what brought him here. His answer is what will inspire him to finish what he set out to do.
