Editorial Reviews

Falmouth to Peachtree, Cascade to Carlsbad... Road Racing is as American as apple pie. While elite athletes go for the money, the rest of us go for PRs and the finish line. We all run the same course, some just get there a little faster than others. A look at the great races and what makes them special. This classic celebration of running is hosted by Toni Reavis and produced by Salmini Films and shows nearly twenty different road races from the 1980's with a focus on preformances in 1988. Some of the races include Lilac Bloomsday 12K, San Francisco Bay to Breaker 12K, L'eggs Mini Marathon, Boulder Boulder, Cascade Run Off, Peachtree and Falmouth Road Race. Many athletes are shown competing such as Mark Curp, Jon Sinclair, Grete Waitz, Alberto Salazar, Joan Benoit, Jim Ryun, Eamonn Coghlann, Lisa Martin, Julie Isphordine, Frank Shorter, Bill Rodgers, and Steve Scott. In addition to about a dozen of the elite athlete interviews you will also be treated to two sections of mishaps and unusual sights entitled "Oddballs of the Sport" and "Perils of the Road". 60 minutes
