Leave your thoughts about Spirit of the Marathon.
| FILMINK (Australia)Anya WeimannSurely a special treat for Chicagoans and marathoners alike, especially for how it provides a human face for one of the city's major annual highlights. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerThis rousing and involving documentary explores different facets of the marathon and why some find it easy to get hooked. It is clear that the marathon is much more than an interest. It is a passion, an obsession and a way of life .. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonIn its more tranquil stretches, Spirit of the Marathon might be mistaken for a feature-length sneaker advertisement, but if you're looking for inspiration, you could do worse. |
| User ReviewRachel MMy big sis kim moore is it the film unbeknownced to us, just for a little, but it was still cool to see her on the big screen. Also, the docu. was really very good, inspirational and well made. |
| User ReviewTrisha SWhat is better than running... Watching other people do it and seeing that even the "pros" have issues running too. Make sure you see the outtakes at the end of the movie |
| User ReviewFran HA super inspirational movie! I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but it showed me that my first attempt at a half marathon is nothing. Can't believe the super marathon runners finish in such a short amount of time!!! |
| User ReviewJeanne BAwesome movie, definite go see for long distance runners. |
| User ReviewCarlos DMy complete utter respect and appreciation to these people!! They're nothing but role models! Someday i'll be doing the Boston,chicago and NYC marathon! I know it! |
| User ReviewDeidre CAwesome! I loved it. The personal stories were great. Really liked the acknowledgment of the mental aspect of running. |
| User ReviewJulie PThis is more than just a movie, it is encouragement, strength, and motivation to RUN!! I think it might have even convinced Kiley to take up running :) |
