The Old Man and the Marathon is a story about taking on a challenge
despite the odds. Sixty-four year old Angelo Santiago has been a
distance runner most of his life. However, he has never run a
marathon because of a history of sciatica problems. This missing
piece in his competitive career has always gnawed at him, reminding
him of his inferiority among his running peers. After three months
of pain-free running, he decides to train for his first marathon.
With encouragement from his young friend, Emmanuel, he begins the
arduous workouts that will prepare him for one of the most
difficult ordeals of his life. Along the way he meets Rita Marling,
a beautiful woman who stirs romantic embers dormant since the death
of his wife ten years ago. He also encounters Jack Silvers, a local
high school coach and marathoner who becomes his rival in racing
and romance. On the day of the race, like everyone who takes on the
challenge of a marathon, Angelo must reach deep inside to find the
strength and courage to finish the race.
