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"!

Every Marathoner should watch this dvd. November 28, 2008
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 that insprirational.

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
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
