NCM Fathom, in partnership with Active.com and Wasserman Media Group, is proud to present “Spirit of the Marathon” on the big screen in high-definition with Cinema Surround Sound on Thursday, January 24th at 7:30PM (local). Don’t miss your chance to see the Chicago International Film Festival’s “Audience Choice Award” winner!
“Spirit of the Marathon” is the first ever non-fiction feature film to capture the drama and essence of the famed 26.2 mile running event. Filmed on four continents, the production brings together a diverse cast of amateur athletes and marathon luminaries. As six unique stories unfold, each runner prepares for and ultimately faces the challenge of the Chicago Marathon. More than a sports program, “Spirit of the Marathon” is an inspirational journey of perseverance and personal triumph; a spectacle that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike.
Four years in the making, “Spirit of the Marathon” is the collaborative effort of three-time Academy Award winner Mark Jonathon Harris, Telly Award winner and marathon runner Jon Dunham and producer/marathoner Gwendolen Twist.
We will be meeting at the Charles Towne Square Stadium 18 Cinema North Charleston SC
Tickets may be purchased (I recommend in advance) at the theatre or by going online here
Included in the program was a presentation of a $9,000
check, raised at the "Charleston 9" Memorial Run in
September, to the Firemen's Fund. Present and
accepting on behalf of the Charleston Fire Department
was Battalion Chief Joseph Roberts.

entries to The Bridge Run, entries to The Festival of
Lights, and CRC shirts. Thank you very much to those
who contributed gifts; to Dan Clapper and Greg Brown

One of the big changes expected for the coming year is
a migration towards making the club more "web-based":
in its activities, and particularly in
distribution/ sharing of information (including the
newsletter).
We are anxiously awaiting reports on whether or not
the kegs were drained...
This meeting will coincide with a marathon by Tim Borland who is doing 63 of them in 63 days, to raise money for the childhood disease, A-T (ataxia-telangiectasia). This will be #52, and he should actually finish at about 5 pm. For more information about Tim's efforts, or if you are interested in running a leg with him on the 24th, call local coordinator & CRC member Lenny Moore 881-3841. At this meeting we will also be presenting the check for funds raised (over $9,000) at the CRC's Charleston 9 Memorial 5K.
