| VarietyRonnie ScheibExpertly constructed, impressively lensed and surprisingly entertaining. |
| AV ClubScott Von DoviakAn engaging slice of Americana that almost manages to make back-breaking physical exertion look like a hell of a good time. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanCan't get yourself off the couch? You'll find all the inspiration you need from this spirited look at Oregon's titular marathon. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerChristoph Baaden, the director, loses sight of the fact that, for people who don't run, the cult of running is kind of boring. |

| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn amateurish and unappealing documentary about participants in a 197-mile relay race. |
