Most of us feel accomplished when we run a few miles. Maybe you’ve even run the Bay to Breakers, or even more impressive, you’ve finished a marathon.
But how about about setting a goal of running from the steps of San Francisco’s City hall to the steps of New York’s City Hall… in 46 days? Two men – well-known ultra-marathoners Charlie Engle and Marshall Ulrich – tried to do just that in 2008.
“Running America” is the documentary film that captures their journey. The film became as much about their personal and physical challenges as it did about the Americans they encountered along the way, all of whom were caught up in the political and economic turmoil of the 2008 presidential election.
On Thursday, February 24th at 8:30pm, the 4-Star Theater (22nd & Clement) is holding a one-night-only screening of “Running America”. Tickets can be purchased online for $9 or on the night of the show at the box office.
