The Purpose

Purpose is a longing, a celebration of the imagination, an invitation to a journey to the place of your deepest dreams. It is the engine that brings you closer to the vision of yourself, overcoming challenges, fulfilling dreams and achieving goals that you thought were unattainable, like running a race in the middle of the desert. The Škoda Titan Desert Morocco can be explained in many ways: through its route, its landscapes, its winners… but there is no better way to do it than through its people. Their stories. The Purpose is a documentary that brings together and delves into five of the stories we experienced in the 2024 edition of the race. Stories of passion, overcoming, love and courage. Because it is them: Martí, Jan, Michal, Alejandra, Daniel and Konny who make a mountainbike race much more than that.

Dakota Jones – Trying to leave footprints everywhere, but only footprints
Dakota has been running trails ever since he found that trail running wasn’t nearly as competitive as road running, and that it might give him a shot at being famous. He still isn’t famous, but it turns out he really likes exploring wild places on foot. Indeed, this unexpected appreciation of nature has resulted in him doing all kinds of complicated things in order to try to save the environment, like taking a cargo ship across the ocean and being a pain in the ass at potlucks by not eating meat. Dakota puts his emotion into action working along side partners such as Protect Our Winters (POW), utilising his ability to run fast on trails to promote sustainability and respect, which sounds like two things that wouldn’t work together, but which in reality are surprisingly interconnected.
