A veteran ultramarathoner tackles the Everest of distance racing in this documentary film about the world's longest certified footrace. The film follows distance runner Suprabha Beckjord as she takes on the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3,100 Mile Race for an unprecedented 12th year in a row. Hailed by her peers as the greatest super-long distance runner in history, Beckjord has made an annual tradition of running the race which takes place around a half mile-long loop in Queens, NY as a tribute to Bengali spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy. A disciple of Chinmoy for nearly thirty years, Beckjord faces a new challenge as she confronts the journey for the first time since his death. A portrait of inspiration, The Spirit of a Runner challenges our definition of possibility as it explores the enduring capacity of the human heart and the unfaltering power of self-transcendence.
