I have come across some exciting news in the running community. The powerful and inspiring documentary Running the Sahara narrated by Matt Damon will be shown on the big screen. Running the Sahara chronicles the journey of three runners as they run for 111 days across 4300 miles of Saharan desert. It will be shown at the Plaza Frontenac Theater on Feb 24th. The best part is that in addition to seeing the documentary, each person will receive a copy of the DVD, and there will be a Q&A with Charlie Engle, one of the runners. Charlie's story is inspiring even without having run across the Sahara. He has been featured in Runner's World, and other magazines for overcoming addiction through running.
Tickets are $35 at the door and $25 in advance, however by following this link http://nehst.com/rtsln , and entering the code GROUPSALE (case sensitive) you will get an extra $5 discount. $20 is not bad for what you get out of it.
I have seen the documentary already and it was really great. I can't say enough good things about it so instead play the video and watch the trailer.
I am not sure how many tickets will be available, so if you think you might want to go by all means do not hesitate. Here are the details again:
What: Running the Sahara
