Synopsis
In the early 1980s, three American males find themselves running at various tempos over the Hampstead Heaths north of London. One is a San Francisco lawyer trying to write poetry. Another has quit his job as a video tape editor at Burbank's QBC News. And a third is a mysterious, amazingly talented runner with a scarred face. Also galloping over the muddy trails and through forests and suburbs is a capable yet often distracted female New Zealander hoping to make her mark in European racing. A retired Scotsman on a modest income also mixes it up with the others. Looming ahead is the Greater London Marathon. The mysterious American doesn't plan to run it. Then, no one has ever broken two hours for the marathon distance...A story of Racing, Romance, and Romps over grass and pavement culminates in a variety of 26.2-mile exciting or disappointing performances!
