The Story: One of the most influential and unlikely American icons, Fred
Lebow fled his orthodox home in war-torn Europe and found his calling when he
brought together a ragtag group of runners for the first NYC Marathon in Central
Park. In 1976, Lebow took the race through all five boroughs, bringing a divided
city together and sparking a worldwide fitness boom. Lebow lived for the NYC
Marathon yet only ran the five borough race once, in a race against the odds.
From Emmy-nominated filmmaker Judd Ehrlich comes this remarkable story of how
one man ran for his life and inspired millions to do the same.
