States of Mind (2026)

Overview

States of Mind follows endurance athlete Lachlan Stuart as he attempts an extraordinary challenge: running 58 marathons in 58 consecutive days across every Australian state and territory and every U.S. state. Battling sub-zero temperatures, relentless fatigue and over 2,400 kilometres, the challenge pushes him far beyond his physical limits. But this is more than a film about running. As the kilometres mount, Lachie and his wife navigate the emotional uncertainty of IVF, transforming a record-breaking feat into a deeply human story of hope, heartbreak and resilience. Filmed with an intimate, observational approach by a minimal crew embedded in the experience, States of Mind places audiences alongside every step, revealing that true endurance isn't just about what we can achieve, but how we keep moving forward through life's greatest challenges.
