A group of ultra-distance runners, lead by veteran marathoner Scott Burton, have turned their passion for running, Slurpees, and Winnipeg into an underground event called "The Slurpee Run". This is a documentary about how they were inspired to undertake the astonishing challenge of running to every 7-Eleven in Winnipeg on Free Slurpee Day. 45 stores, 71.1 miles, over the course of 21 hours straight.
