Album Description
Spirit of the Marathon is the first film to capture the passion, drama and essence of the famed 26.2-mile Chicago Marathon. Intimate, fascinating portraits of six runners from all walks of life unfold as the film follows seasoned athletes and amateurs alike in their preparation for the big race. See why the Los Angeles Times said "Even if you've never run for anything but a bus, you'll... get swept up in this movie's inspiring journey"!

Pre-race boost November 16, 2008
It was one week before I was set to run my first marathon when I watched this movie. It was a real boost to see other "average" runners like me train for and complete their first marathons. I purchased an additional copy of this movie for a family member who also runs. I'm hoping it will inspire him to join the ranks of marathoners!
Inspring!!! November 12, 2008
Definitely a must see if you are a marathoner or considering doing one. Great views of Chicago. The music is what adds to the documentary. All runners will relate to many of the discussions/comments throughout the storyline. As Dick Beardsley says, running a marathon "will change your life forever!" How very, very true.
Great Movie on Marathon and Running October 28, 2008

A very nice movie. I ran my second Marathon this year and I have successfully used this movie to help some of my non running family members/friends to help understand the magic of the distance (26.2 Miles) and the training rigor. Overall a very well directed movie.Good extra special features.
 Inspiring Movie, Beware of movie previews! October 20, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This movie is inspiring and well done with several interesting story lines.
We watched it as a family. My daughter, who has vowed never to run, enjoyed the movie.
Beware that the movie previews that come on before the main movie are extremely "risque". If you want to watch it with your kids skip to the main event before your kids are in the room.
A source of inspiration for running October 13, 2008

I saw this movie at the Chicago Film Festival in 2007, the day before I ran my first marathon in the blistering hot 2007 Chicago Marathon. This was a great movie and one that I will own and return to again and again for inspiration.
