In anticipation of the Austin Marathon, we invite you to the Ritz for an incredible documentary about the passions and adversities of the marathon runner.
Four years in the making, SPIRIT OF THE MARATHON is the collaborative effort of three-time Academy Award winner Mark Jonathan Harris, Telly Award winner and marathon runner Jon Dunham and producer/marathoner Gwendolen Twist. Spirit of the Marathon is the first ever non-fiction feature film to capture the drama and essence of the famed 26.2 mile running event. Filmed on four continents, the movie brings together a diverse cast of amateur athletes and marathon luminaries.
As six unique stories unfold, each runner prepares for and ultimately faces the challenge of the Chicago Marathon. More than a sports movie, the film is an inspirational journey of perseverance and personal triumph; a spectacle that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike.
Filmed on four continents and in five countries, the film stars legends such as Dick Beardsley, Paula Radcliffe, Bill Rodgers, and Grete Waitz.
