FILM : MOUNTAINS OF HEAVEN
Jenny Tough running solo across the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan

On September 18 2016, I ran – somewhat stonkered – through the city gates of Osh, in the southwest of Kyrgyzstan, having run just over 900 kilometres in 25 days from the northeast city of Karakol via the Tien Shan mountains, solo and self-supported.
I met some truly wonderful people and had so many experiences that I will cherish forever.


I made ‘Mountains of Heaven’ shortly after my run, and was my first true attempt at film-making. I’ve been delighted to screen my no-budget, solo film at a few adventure festivals around the world, and now share it with you here!
Jenny has recently released her book ‘Solo – What Running Across Mountains Taught Me About Life’. Solo is the account of one woman’s mission to run solo and unsupported across mountain ranges on six continents—overcoming obstacles, conquering fears and finding the joy in achieving her goals absolutely alone.
Love this? Know someone else who would?
Share the adventure!
