Finishing a marathon is an incredibly rewarding experience no matter the length. The Human Race, a documentary you can watch here or on SurvivorNetTV, follows six runners, all over the age of 50, as they train for the biggest races they’ve ever run.
The distances vary, as do the runners’ reasons for hitting the pavement, but each story is inspiring all the same. There is an 80-year-old running a half-marathon to celebrate her milestone birthday, a cancer survivor attempting to run across all 50 states, and a father attempting his very first 5K with his autistic son by his side.
