New Movie: Spirit of the Marathon

I just got an email from active.com about the premiere of the movie "Spirit of the Marathon". It looks like a pretty cool documentary.

"Spirit of the Marathon" is the first ever non-fiction feature film to capture the drama and essence of the famed 26.2 mile running event. Filmed on four continents, the production brings together a diverse cast of amateur athletes and marathon luminaries. As six unique stories unfold, each runner prepares for and ultimately faces the challenge of the Chicago Marathon. More than a sports program, "Spirit of the Marathon" is an inspirational journey of perseverance and personal triumph; a spectacle that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike.

The movie premieres in select theaters on Jan 24, 2008. For information about tickets, theaters, etc. visit fathomevents.com. For information about the movie itself, visit marathonmovie.com.
