Athletics: Salmini Films To Produce CBS Sports Spectacular For The 2004 Runner's Classic

NEW YORK, NY - (October 15) - Salmini Films will film and nationally broadcast the 2004 Runner's Classic

The event will include a talented field of elite athletes and offer a fast race course through the SeaWorld Orlando complex.

The event will be featured in a 1-hour taped national broadcast on CBS Network. The broadcast will provide a comprehensive overview of the event, including race highlights and athlete profiles.

Last year's broadcast, also on CBS Network, garnered 1.66 million viewers.
