Baker To Vegas | Short Documentary
“The doctor told me, ‘You might as well look for another job—you’re never going to be able to return to work.’ I wasn’t willing to accept that. I made it happen. Because no one’s going to tell me I can’t do it.”
From seasoned captains guiding their teams through midnight miles, to survivors defying the odds after life-altering injuries, to deputies running in memory of the fallen, every leg of this race tells a story. A story of purpose. Of perseverance. Of legacy.
The Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay isn’t just 120 miles through the desert—it’s a rite of passage. A test of endurance, heart, and unshakable camaraderie.
Each spring, thousands of law enforcement officers lace up not for medals, but for meaning. This short documentary follows the 2025 San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department teams as they battle the elements and their own limits. Through scorching winds, steep climbs, and long, sleepless nights, they carry more than a baton—they carry the memory of those who can no longer run beside them.
This is more than a race. It’s a tribute. And it starts with one step.
