Editorial Review:

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"!




Rating: - great flim even for those who aren't runners
Although I'm a marathon runner and have run Chicago, this is a great film for anyone who wants an inspiring story about the strength of the human spirit. Each of the highlighted runners in this film uniquely shows how hard work, inner strength, and human support can make any dream possible. As a very unathletic chubby woman myself, training for and running the marathon has changed my life. It taught me things about myself and those I love that I never would have learned otherwise. And I never ... Read More

Rating: - Every Marathoner should watch this dvd.
I'm not a dvd or book reviewer. I'm a runner. I like to run long and I get inspired by books and dvd's that speak of the experience. In this dvd you hear from new marathoners to pro marathoners. From those battling injuries to those that are at the top of their game.

And you get to experience one of the great marathons - the Chicago Marathon held every year in October.

Not only will I watch this dvd over and over again. I'm going to run in the Chicago Marathon too. It's ... Read More

Rating: - Pre-race boost
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!

Rating: - Inspring!!!
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.
