Encore Presentation of Hood To Coast...Don't Miss it!

On January 11th, runners and athletes nationwide made their way to see the world’s largest relay race in movie theaters for a Special, One-Night Only screening. The specail showing was such a hit the Hood to Coast is BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! I'm excited to announce that the running film HOOD TO COAST will have an encore screening in select cities on February 10th, 2011 at 7:30 PM. Whether you missed it the first time around, or you want to see it again, here is your final chance to see this inspiring documentary.

Each year, 12,000 runners make the journey from the top of Oregon's tallest mountain, Mt. Hood, 197 miles to the Pacific Ocean in Seaside, Oregon.

HOOD TO COAST is an inspiring new documentary that follows four teams with various levels of athletic ability on their epic journey to conquer the world’s largest relay race. Some run to test their personal limits, some to overcome personal obstacles, and others leap in blindly looking for a way to shake up a complacent life. As we follow these four teams, we realize that winning isn’t everything in a film that takes a celebratory look at personal motivation and attempting the extraordinary.

NCM Fathom and Film for Thought are thrilled to bring this feature length documentary to your local movie theater and show it on the big screen in stunning HD. Immediately following the documentary, movie theater audiences will hear from a distinguished group of expert runners, Olympians and running world giants as they discuss their experience of participating in the Hood to Coast relay and its unique place in the history of American running. Panelists include but are not limited to:

Looks like another great running documentary! I have run the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay 2 years now and it is the most fun I've ever had during a race. Can't wait to check it out!
