Hood To Coast: The Review

When I was at the Rock 'N' Roll San Jose Expo last year, I briefly stopped at a booth that was promoting a documentary about runners.  Well, that movie premiered yesterday - one night, one screening - at theaters across the country.  Named after the race in which the film's subjects participated, Hood to Coast captures the spirit of runners as they prepare for the world's largest relay race.  I had to watch it!

We all have different stories to tell and Hood to Coast does exactly that.  The film follows four teams, each with a unique perspective and personality.  From novice runners who prefer to drink beer than train (sounds familiar...) to experienced runners who face life's challenges to participate in a grueling 197-mile relay race, Hood to Coast takes viewers through the emotional highs and lows of endurance events.

If you didn't get a chance to watch the movie, here's a quick peek:


If and when Hood to Coast is released on DVD, I absolutely recommend it for runners and non-runners alike.  You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll definitely be inspired.
