    A friend just sent me an e-mail about this movie today. Being a running geek, like most of us here, I'd love to go see it. I am a bit confused though as to why it is playing in Canada, but won't be released in the US until mid-May. Wouldn't it make sense to release it on the weekend of the Boston Marathon? At least a limited release in Boston where there would be sure to be a lot of interest in it. It seems to me like yet another example of poor marketing in our sport.

    I've seen it, and fully recommend it. A little hokey at times, but definitely entertaining.

    I believe it was released in Canada first because it is a Canadian film (written and directed by Canadian Mike McGowan, who was a former Detroit Marathon Champ). As with most small films, it has limited marketing resources and is relying heavily on word of mouth. It has been well received at various Film Festivals around the world, and even won an Award at the Paris Film Festival (I think) most recently.

    Go see it. Help support small films like this that do not have the resources to battle Hollywood marketing.
