Visit their website for more information and to buy tickets. I can’t recommend this movie enough, even if you’re not a runner. I know I sound like a broken record, but the marathon really is a metaphor for the human condition; therefore, The Spirit of the Marathon is as applicable to runners and philosophers as it is to couch potatoes, and yes, even cyclists.
I’m considering showing up for a repeat viewing myself, especially since I’ll be three short days away from my metaphorical expression of the human condition, and will surely be in full-blown tapering freak out.
