2) Are the filmmakers runners?
Almost everyone involved with Spirit of the Marathon has run at least one marathon. If fact, the film inspired a few more on the crew to give it a try. If you watch the credits roll to the end, you'll see our PR's.
3) When and where is the DVD going to be available?
The DVD will be released on October 9th, 2008 and will be widely available through major retailers, specialty running stores, on-line retailers and at marathonmovie.com.
4) Is the soundtrack available?
Yes, the original motion picture soundtrack is available for Spirit of the Marathon through iTunes. It is unlikely that a CD version of the soundtrack will be available.
The Kenyan music that was used during a scene with Daniel is indeed the legendary marathoner, Douglas Wakiihuri. We discovered his album in Japan while filming with Daniel. It was a great tie in and it's a great album. To purchase "Zungusha" visit www.amazon.de.
5) Can I purchase a hat, shirt or poster?
We have partnered with Zombie Runner, an on-line specialty retailer, to sell Spirit of the Marathon shirts, hats and posters. The posters are only available for a limited time and when they are gone, they will truly be gone.

Absolutely! Spirit of the Marathon will be distributed outside North America very soon. If you wish to receive updates about Spirit of the Marathon news including release dates, please sign up for our newsletter.
7) Why has the film been screened only one day at a time?
The screening schedule is up to the distributor. Since in most cases, it's been distributed in HD by satellite, we must select one day only to do this.
