Skid Row Marathon is directed by Mark Hayes.

When a criminal court judge starts a running club on LA’s notorious skid row and trains a motley group of addicts and criminals to run marathons, lives begin to change.

Skid Row Marathon follows five runners as they rise from the mean streets of LA to run marathons around the world, fighting the pull of homelessness and addiction at every turn. Their story is one of hope, friendship, and dignity. (85 min)
