Off Course

Stephanie Case and Sophie Grant are world-class ultrarunners, celebrated for pushing their bodies to the edge in some of the most unforgiving races on Earth. Yet no finish line could prepare them for the most relentless and unpredictable challenge of all: the road to motherhood.

Behind podiums and mountain summits, both women are wrestling with an invisible struggle — one marked by infertility, pregnancy loss, and the silence that surrounds female athletes who dare to pursue both sport and motherhood. Oﬀ Course pulls back the veneer of toughness often projected onto endurance athletes, revealing raw moments of resilience and fierce vulnerability. Intimate and unflinching, the film reframes endurance not as triumph or failure, but as the courage to
keep moving when life veers oﬀ track. Off Course is an intimate and deeply personal documentary following elite ultrarunners Stephanie Case and Sophie Grant as they confront the most grueling challenge of their lives: trying to become mothers.

As they chase finish lines across the mountains, their friendship carries them through another, far more private race—one marked by infertility, loss, and the stigma that too often forces women to suffer in silence. By breaking that silence, they not only find strength in each other, but shine a light on the power of community when we dare to speak openly about the struggles that remain in the dark.

This is not a story of victory or defeat—it’s about what happens in the space between, when life goes off course.
