SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Lynn.... I loved the movie! An issue very close to my heart. 14 million parents raising 21 million children. Two quotes in particular struck me. "If our children are the future of the world how come we don't have a secretary of children?" Policy can be made and money can be thrown but to me what can make the biggest difference leads me to the second quote. "What kids need is the need to know that people care." It does take a village to raise a child. A child does not grow up in a single home. Regardless of a child's biological parent it's upbringing belongs to the community. "Be somebody's hero." We all have our own race in life but whatever race you are running never quit or give up. Live with honesty, integrity, faith and love. Thank you all for telling Terri's story! Truly Inspiring....

I'm not a runner but, then again, neither is the subject of this documentary. The challenge for the filmmakers is how to this tell this story, even though we already know how it ends, he makes it to Atlanta. But the real "story" of course, is his journey, personally but also with his family. I had the chance to see the world premiere at the Austin Film Festival and recently again at the Minneapolis/St Paul International Film Festival. The footage used from his original run in 1996 adds tremendously to the authenticity of the story. This film is truly a triumph of the spirit. I recommend it highly. You will laugh and you will probably also cry. When the house lights in Austin went up, people were on their feet, there wasn't a dry eye in the house and everyone was smiling,

Just caught this film at the 2009 Austin Film Festival for it's World Premiere. Audience gave a standing ovation to the filmmakers as well as Terry Hitchcock who was in attendance. Catch MY RUN when it comes to a theater near you - this is a wonderful uplifting film that will touch the heart and soul of anyone that sees it! This film has multiple messages throughout. One is that if someone operates out of faith and not fear, they will persevere - no exception, they will manifest the dream and success and do it as Terry Hitchcock so courageously did - one step at a time!! It will inspire and delight all and leave you feeling filled with hope and promise for better days ahead! You will be thinking about this documentary long after you leave the theater.

I saw this documentary at the Austin Film Festival and really enjoyed it. It will change the way you live. It's the story of Terry Hitchcock, who lost his wife to cancer then raised his kids by himself. After the kids were grown he decided to run seventy-five marathons in a row to raise awareness for single-parent households. Once he decides to run the marathons, the story really takes off. You see how hard it was for him. He was already in his late fifties when he decided to do it, and he had a bad heart. The fact that he never gave up, no matter what was put before him, is what makes the documentary so great. It shows you that if you really put your mind to something and believe in yourself, you really can do amazing things.
