An NYC Exclusive Showing of “Beyond The Epic Run”

If you don’t reside in NYC, I apologize…this post isn’t quite for you.

But if you are, congratulations! You’ve just been invited to a private screening of “Beyond The Epic Run” courtesy of me, The Running Laminator. You’re welcome. You see, a short while ago, I was contacted by a member of their marketing team inviting me out for this screening. When I replied that I would be available that night, they asked if I wanted to bring my readership along. Why of course certainly, I replied. Where kind of blogger would I be if it weren’t for my loyal readers, especially those that live here in the city. (No offense to those loyal friends of mine that live beyond the city borders…if I could bring you all here, you know I would.)

Anyway, this feature film documenting the journey of a Swiss couple who took 5 years to travel on an epic journey across Europe, Africa, Middle East, Africa, and the United States, will be shown on Monday March 2nd at 7:30pm at the Anthology Film Archives at 32 2nd Avenue In New York City. If you would like to come and see this awesome and inspiring reality film with me and other likeminded NYC bloggers, please respond in the comments or drop me a line with your name and contact info at therunninglaminator@gmail.com. I’ll be sure to add your name to the guest list. (As if the movie itself wasn’t exciting enough, I hear we’ll be able to meet the film’s producer after the screening for a Q&A session as well! How awesome!)

Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention that this event is FREE!

Here’s a bit more about the film from the marketing department:

“Beyond the Epic Run” is a feature length documentary reality film about a Swiss couple who live their dream to run around the world. Together, Serge and Nicole Roetheli leave on an epic adventure that leads them out of Europe, through Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States, testing their boundaries, strengthening their minds and challenging their bodies. Running the equivalent of a marathon every other day, Serge the endurance sports runner runs nearly 25,400 miles in five years while wife, Nicole, using their personal camera as she rides her Yamaha motorcycle, captures the footage used in this film. Excerpts from her personal diary reveal experiences and accomplishments throughout their journey together.

Serge ran more than 25,000 miles over five years with Nicole behind him. They traveled through 37 counties on six continents. While they were running through Africa, they both caught Malaria and almost died, but Serge and Nicole kept on tuckin’. It’s an amazing story of an athlete --and a loving wife’s--physical and mental strength. They risked everything for this experience. Very inspiring for anyone trying to overcome any challenge!

Here’s the trailer for the film:
