Presented in association with ACTIVE.com, LIVESTRONG and Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM), MY RUNis a tale of two marathons: one began when Hitchcock's wife died of breast cancer; the other when he set out on a journey to bring awareness and a voice to the struggles faced by single parent families and their children. Hitchcock ran in spite of freezing rain, unbearable heat, chest pains and bone fractures. He didn't stop until he crossed the finish line in Atlanta.
This powerful and uplifting event takes audiences along with Hitchcock as he runs 75 consecutive marathons in 75 consecutive days. Together with his son and support team member, Hitchcock will discuss their journey and share a deeper look into the struggles of the 2,000-mile endurance test in a pre-recorded Q&A following the documentary. Audiences will learn about the emotional and physical toll on Hitchcock after the run -- which has never been discussed until this exclusive event.
"If we all can be 1/10 the person Terry Hitchcock is." said Billy Bob Thornton.
"It's truly a story of endurance and faith," said the Dove Foundation, which awarded MY RUN the "Family-Friendly Seal of Approval."
MY RUN, directed and produced by Tim VandeSteeg and produced by Mark Castaldo, will be shown in 518 select movie theaters through NCM's exclusive Digital Broadcast Network.
MY RUN has garnered kudos from individuals, magazines and organizations -- "This inspiring documentary shows us how powerful the human spirit is and how after immense struggle comes an even greater elation." said Deena Kastor-- Olympic Medalist and American Record Holder. "I'm a marathoner running the Sedona marathon. I came here to be inspired to run, but instead was inspired to love my wife more" said ultra-marathoner Bob Redwanc.
