Channel 4, Gay Times & Voltarol | More than a runner

More Than a Runner is about the stories, the struggles, and the triumphs that each pound on the tarmac represents. This inspirational documentary series tells the stories of Alexandru & Elliot, for whom running the marathon is so much more than reaching 26.2 miles.

Elliot is a first-time marathon runner taking on the 2024 TCS London Marathon. When he was younger, Elliot was diagnosed with a rare blood disease. From homeless shelters to catwalking at major fashion weeks; from sleeping on night buses to pursuing his ambition of becoming a university lecturer; Alexandru refuses to be defined by his past.
