Synopsis
In RUN THE RACE, two desperate brothers sacrifice today for a better tomorrow.
Reeling from his mother’s death and his father’s abandonment, Zach, an All-State athlete, finds glory on the football field, working to earn a college scholarship and the brothers’ ticket out of town.
When a devastating injury puts Zach—and his dreams—on the sidelines, David laces up his track cleats to salvage their future and point Zach toward hope.
In theaters Feb. 22, RUN THE RACE shows what’s possible when you run to—instead of from—the overwhelming love of God.
“I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, Roadside’s highest grossing film, affirmed that inspirational, quality faith-based stories can reach a huge, highly-valued audience,” said Roadside Attractions Co-Presidents and Co-Founders Howard Cohen and Eric d’Arbeloff. “Tim and Robby Tebow are fantastic partners, and we believe their RUN THE RACE will be embraced as enthusiastically by audiences nationwide.”
“Roadside Attractions’ experience with independent films makes them the perfect distribution partner for RUN THE RACE,” said Executive Producer Bill Reeves of WTA Group.
Principal filming on RUN THE RACE was in Birmingham, Alabama. In addition to Robby and Tim Tebow and Reeves, executive producers include Erik Weir, Trey Brunson, Joe Kosakowski and Erik Dellenback.
