"We are excited to partner with the producers of Spirit of the
Marathon to bring this inspirational documentary exclusively to our

the Marathon on our big screens in HD is sure to move those in the
running community as well as those who do not run. It’s a powerful
experience for all."

life challenges and our ability to overcome them. We aimed to
capture the spirit of the marathon and I believe the film truly
exemplifies what the marathon and athletics are all about. We are

Chicago Marathon. Spirit of the Marathon is presented in Canada in
partnership with The Running Room, New Balance and Active.com.
