Age Group Winner (Remastered Expanded Edition)
MON 12 MAY
Coming Soon to
Cinema 21
In 1980 Jay Helgerson shocked the world, becoming the first person to run a marathon a week for a year, each race completed in under three hours. For 10 years, his daughter, filmmaker Alexandra Helgerson, follows him with a camera in order to understand the eccentric man who raised her. What she gets are his projected anxieties, his struggles with physical age and emotional distress, all while endlessly training for the Boston Marathon. As Jay trains, the film is nearly derailed by Alexandra’s encounter with a life threatening illness. AGE GROUP WINNER ultimately is an affirmation of the will to live.
In this expanded and remastered edition of the film, director Alexandra Helgerson has added 10 minutes of new footage featuring the latest on Jay’s journey into 2025 and revelations from her personal life.
