In the 2014 Gold Rush Expedition Race, endurance racers trek, mountain bike, kayak, orienteer and tackle a ropes course during a grueling competition that test their mental and physical limitations. The race was filmed by UC students alongside professional directors, producers and cameramen on location in the Stanislaus National Forest of Northern California.

As part of the University of Cincinnati's UCForward program, students from across three college programs came together to film and produce a television show based around the Gold Rush race. The opportunity presents a unique situation for students to work with professionals in their field and learn in a hands on environment.
