Watch Marathon

An unprofessional film crew follows five amateur runners as they train for Devil's Canyon Marathon, an offbeat desert race. Ryan O'Brien missed qualifying for last year's Boston Marathon by nine seconds. This is his year. Or is it? A foot injury and a testy relationship with the cameraman may be his undoing. Jenna Kowalski is attempting to break the record for fastest marathon time dressed as a fruit, but a new relationship threatens to thwart her efforts. Abby Dozier tried to run a marathon last year, but a pregnancy threw a wrench (or baby) in her plans. Now with a year of motherhood under her belt, she's ready to run again. Shareef Washington wants to finish a marathon to prove his bullying, triathlete sister wrong, but his own training is continually interrupted by overzealous cops suspicious of a Black male runner. Emilou Paunch quits roughly 30 seconds into her training. From there, all aspects of her life improve. Not running the marathon was the best decision Emilou ever made.
