- Copied from an old vhs tape and hard to find anywhere....always managed to inspire me to drag the running shoes out after watching the last 15 minutes...hope you enjoy it and it inspires you...no copyright infringement intended and will remove upon request...."burn"....."fly"
I lived in Sausalito when this movie came out. Remember some of the runners of that era. A wonderful time to be alive ..
I'm glad some of you were able to find a decent dvd copy of this film. I have been trying to find one for years, as all I've got is an old vhs that isn't any better than this one, and my daughter, who died in 2005, is the little girl with the blonde ponytail who is standing in the water when all the runners enter it at the end.. Her father is also in the group of people congratulating Bruce Dern at the finish, before they all head for the water. I was working in Bolinas that day and they had gone over to Stinson Beach. I think my daughter was four or five. She was delighted at getting to have all the juice boxes she wanted while they were filming, lol! She's only on the screen for a short while, but long enough to tell it's her. Same with her dad. Since she died at age 28, it's meant a lot to me to find these memories here and there. Glad to see this again. ❤
Such a beautiful movie.
I remember first watching this film at the Mill Valley Public Library on VHS in 2009 before my first Dipsea. I spent years trying to find a copy and finally on eBay, a DVD copy materialized in 2017 for $80 and I bought it in an instant. I'm racing my 14th Dipsea tomorrow and am glad to have found this online now - thanks Bill!
Same. So jazzed this is posted.
The DVD that's available has removed Pam Greer from the movie. Totally ridiculous that someone would edit a movie like that, so nice to see the original!
Pam Greer added an extremely valuable element to the plot. Not sure why she was removed from the DVD. She contributed another dimension to Wes's character.
That’s unbelievable. How can you cut Foxy Brown out of this film? She’s great in it and adds a much needed romantic element. Her and Bruce have nice chemistry. Luckily I have a vhs copy that still has her lovely performance.
Watched this film about 20 time s in the late 1980s. Takes you on a great adventure of a runner
Thanks! Watched the movie as prep for the Dipsea Race tomorrow.
Awesome.
How was the race?
The perfect runner's movie.
Haven't seen this for well over twenty years. Good to see it again
Thank you for uploading this awesome movie!
This has been on my watch list for years and I finally found it.
Why this isn't available is a mystery. Great movie about beating the odds, and sticking it to assholes.
Love the Marin scenery.
One of the best Pam Grier appearances
Very entertaining film, thanks for sharing Bill Fox.
At last,a REAL running movie.
When this movie was made I was living and running in San Diego. Some of the local runners invested in the movie and were extras in it.
How freeking Marvelous...dang....made my arse Cry like a baby!
Been looking everywhere for this movie! I remember watching it with my parents when I was just 6 years old! Thank you for posting it! 👍
Thank you so much! I also have this movie on VHS and have been looking for a digital copy of this movie. So glad it has been uploaded and will now be preserved on the WWW.
This movie is so awesome - I got shivers 🤗🥃🏄🏻♂️
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Searching for years
Magnífic! Sensacional to find it again!! Such a nice message❤
Thank you for posting this little known cinematic gem. Definitely one of Bruce Dern’s finest performances. Plus it’s got Foxy Brown and the guy from the Godfather who wakes up to the horse head in his bed.😳😆
Good soundtrack too.
This movie is a beauty.🎥🤌🏼
Please seek out the films of Rob Nilsson. He is an indie master with so much integrity, and this is a fine film.
I had this on VHS - very inspired by this movie
Always watched this multiple times every xc season.
Thank you for this. I lost VHS.
Bruce Dern, the actor, was underrated. I gave him an empty wooden box. Dern shined, here.
Pam was my dream.
Me too.I was searching for it long time.So great and motivating
Wanted to see this for a while, couldn't find a copy anywhere. Thanks.
Best running movie ever!
My four favorite running movies,
1. On the Edge
2. The Jericho Mile
3. Running Brave
4. See How She Runs
Thank you!!
THANK YOU for uploading this. I did have the DVD somewhere once upon a time but can't find it, which really bums be out because you can't find the DVD anymore. I tend to watch and rewatch a lot of running movies, but none actually feel as real as this one, even the documentaries. The closest thing has probably been the old documentaries out there on classic UK fell runners like Joss Naylor.
Hey, thanks for uploading this! I'm really glad that I could finally see it. Aside from McFarland USA, it's probably the only Cross Country related movie out there. I did both Cross Country and Track all throughout High School, and am now President of a Club Running Team in College, so to see something like this means a whole lot to me.
Thank you so much! I still have my VHS copy of this. There was something about this movie (especially the race itself) that captured the magic of running. Having recently returned to running, the Dipsea (because of this movie) is a bucketlist item.
Wes Holman's coach was 'Max' in the movie Hooper.
He was also Woltz who wakes up with a horse head in his bed in The Godfather.
Thanks for sharing this! My family and I watched our family-rated VHS last Saturday, too, before running the Dipsea on Sunday.
Awesome! Thanks Bill Fox.
Been looking for this forever. Saw it when it first came out. Bill Bailey is a legend. Thanks for putting this up.
Thank you so much for this upload! I have the VHS and revisit from time to time. Easily my favorite running movie!
1:20.20 Thanking the guys that had his back. My favorite part of the movie.
I had this on VHS and have zero recollection of Pam Grier being in this film. All her scenes were cut out. I suppose her role isn't terribly relevant to the plot. Still... decent hooters!
Kinda reminds me of Raw Courage
Gostaria de encontrar este filme em português.

This film is about more than running. It is about corporate takeover of sports. It is about underpaid athletes. It is about the labor movement of the early 1900s. It is about cooperation and sharing vs. competing. It is about the human spirit.
@@donaldrapp9111 Donald, I know this is an old post, but wanted to add on to your comment. The Dipsea race organization does not take sponsorships as they want to avoid marketing takeover of their brand. There has been a water sponsor over the years, but only because that company was a smaller local Mill Valley company when they first started. Nike has approached them over the years, and they have politely deferred to try and keep the raise simply about the runners.
