Spirit of the Marathon

Recently bought on DVD and also shared with a friend a favorite movie that came out in 2007, called Spirit of the Marathon. From the website:

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 movie 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 movie, 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.

A definite recommendation for anyone who runs or who has considered running.
