 Great Motivator Nov 13, 2009
This is a great movie. This movie has plenty of elite runners providing insight and tracks 4 non-elite runners training and running the Chicago marathon for various reasons. The sound track adds to the excitement of the race. For someone who is considering running a marathon, this is a great movie. You feel the highs and lows of the runners. It is often asked "Why would you want to run 26.2 miles?" The answer is the moment you cross the finish line. The marathon is a journey that defines you. There simply is no way to describe finishing one. Because the camera is able to track the runners during the marathon, this is as close as you can get to actually experiencing it. Better than watching life coverage which only tracks the elites. I loved it. S. Altemus, Pittsburgh, PA
INSPIRATIONAL TO ALL RUNNERS! Oct 20, 2009
I am not a great runner but have done a handful of 5K's and I just completed my first half marathon. I saw this movie at the theatre in 2005 at the Chicago Film Festival only because my father in law(the older gentleman) and sister in law are both in it. I left the theatre in tears, as did many friends that have also seen this. It is so inspiring and I am not saying this because I know two of the people in the documentary. I left the theatre ready to run and went the next day to buy new running shoes. I would recommend this to anyone at any level of running. It really makes you want to get out there and run.
great and on time! Oct 20, 2009

Extremely inspiring, chilling, beatiful shots Oct 15, 2009
I absolutely loved this film! A friend of mine gave it to me when he found out that I was planning to run my first marathon in Chicago this year (2009) and watching the stories, especially of the amateur runners, gave me strength and faith to convince myself that I really could do this (and I just did, 3 days ago!). The stories are very compelling and honest, I like the fact that there is no judgement on why you should want to run a marathon, there are 6 different people, with 6 different reasons to do it. I also like the way the history of marathoning is interlaced with the rest of the stories, and I also enjoyed very much the takes of the beautiful city of Chicago. I got very emotional with some takes of the actual race.
Cons: probably if you don't run, you are not gonna find it so thrilling, but you might as well enjoy it.
My only question is why the film announces to be about 5 stories and I count 6...
Must See! Sep 04, 2009
Everyone who is running a distance race MUST see this film! One of the best!
An added bonus- my non-running family and friends enjoyed it also!
