On the Edge

A film based upon the oldest cross-country foot race in the United States, Marin County's Dipsea Race. Bruce Dern stars as a Marin local, a longtime-banned runner who attempts run the race despite his exclusion by the racing organization and the amateur sports association for his youthful failed attempt to force amateur-level runners to collectively expose the kickbacks, endorsements and under-table payments that were rife in the 1960-1970s.
