"Spirit of the Marathon"

On January 24th, for one night only, select movie theatres will be showing a unique film dedicated to the trials and tribulations of the Chicago Marathon. The movie description is as follows:
"'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."
Note:This movie is not from the 2007 "Marathon Meltdown", but an earlier event
I already have my tickets (thanks Cara!), but if you want to see it, here is a complete theatre listing or click here to order.
