Team Spiridon is proud to team up with the Dick Beardsley Foundation for the premiere of Spirit of the Marathon, on January 24, 2008, at the Gateway Theater at Stonelake. Running legend Dick Beardsley, who has an appearance in the film, will be in attendance at the screening, and at an event prior to the screening that will be open exclusively to those who purchase tickets from the Foundation.
Spirit of the Marathon is the first ever non-fiction feature film to capture the drama and essence of the famed 26.2 mile running event. Filmed on four continents, the movie brings together a diverse cast of amateur athletes and marathon luminaries.
As six unique stories unfold, each runner prepares for and ultimately faces the challenge of the Chicago Marathon. More than a sports movie, Spirit of the Marathon is an inspirational journey of perseverance and personal triumph; a spectacle that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike. Visit http://www.marathonmovie.com/ for more information on the movie.
The Dick Beardsley Foundation is a community-based non-profit dedicated to providing grants to those who need help in seeking treatment for chemical dependency, and to educating the public about the realities of chemical dependency. The Foundation relies on tax deductible donations to function. This is a great opportunity to help the cause, see a uniquely inspirational film, meet one of the great runners of our time, and be entered for some great door prizes.
Tickets for the full event are only available through the Foundation for a minimum donation of $15 per ticket, with proceeds from these sales benefitting the Foundation. To purchase your ticket, go to www.dickbeardsleyfoundation.org, and make sure to indicate in the note field that your donation is for Spirit of the Marathon tickets.

The movie is only showing for one night at 400 theaters nationwise, and at only three local theaters (if you count Round Rock, which, as you know, I usually don't. Just kidding, guys. Sort of.)
More information on the movie and event will be available on this site, as well as the Foundation and Spirit of the Marathon websites in the coming weeks.
