A woman smiling and holding a large video camera outdoors in a mountainous area. She is dressed in a black jacket, black cap, black leggings, and tan hiking boots. Behind her, there are parked cars, a building with a red roof, flag banners, and a backdrop of green mountains and a partly cloudy sky.

Documentary

THE HUMAN RACE is an inspirational documentary feature about six runners, all over the age of 50, as they each train for the biggest race of their lives.

These six athletes cover quite the spectrum: from beloved running icon Kathrine Switzer who, in 1967, became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon as a numbered entry, to an 80-year-old running a half-marathon in celebration of her birthday, to a cancer survivor’s attempt to run across all fifty states. We’ll find out what motivates them to keep going, we’ll delve deeply into their various training programs, and we’ll follow them all the way to the finish line — while getting to know their colorful personalities and gaining insight on how running has helped them through various struggles.


Make no mistake, this documentary is not "cute." These runners are dedicated, fierce, competitive...and they could probably outrun you.
