Watch: For the Love of Mary

This film tells the story of 97-year-old George Etzweiler’s race up Mount Washington, the northeast’s tallest peak, where he’s set the record for oldest finisher for nearly 10 years. The 7.6-mile race climbs nearly 4,700 ft in elevation and gets more difficult for George every year. Still, he continues to complete it with the support of friends and his late wife Mary, who he knows is by his side.
