A night of running films to Colorado Springs on Wednesday, April 24 at Stargazers Theatre, sponsored by the American Trail Running Association (ATRA). Featured among the films will be There Is No Finish Line, the incredibly inspiring documentary about Olympic marathon legend Joan Benoit Samuelson.

If you are a local shop and would like to donate an item or two to the raffle to benefit ATRA, please contact Nancy Hobbs as soon as possible. In exchange, we will be able to run your company logo on the screen at Stargazers prior to the event and can work with you to help drive business to your shop after the show!

What will make this evening extra exciting is our special guests. Our first film will be A Runner's Life, the documentary made by local runner and filmmaker Alex Nichols about Ted Castaneda, the current cross country and track coach at Colorado College. Ted was one of the nation's top runners while at the University of Colorado in the 1970s and competed in two US Olympic Trials. Both Ted and Alex are expected to be on hand for this event.

Our second film is Running The Rockpile, a documentary about the infamous Mount Washington Road Race in New Hampshire. Many Colorado Springs runners have competed in this event in recent years since it often doubles as the US Mountain Running Championships. On hand at the show is expected to be Simon Gutierrez of Colorado Springs, the masters course-record holder at Mount Washington who will be inducted into the race's Hall of Fame during this summer's event. Plus several other local Mount Washington veterans w
