All-star athlete Zach Truett finds glory on the high school football field -- working to earn a college scholarship and a ticket out of town. When a devastating knee injury forces Zach to the sidelines, his brother laces up his cleats to compete in track and field. Despite the setback, there seems to be one silver lining for Zach -- he soon develops a budding relationship with a young nurse who works at the hospital.

Unequivocally a message-pushing drama, but one with a subtler touch and more artistic merit than many of its thematically linked predecessors.

Run the Race has enough of a shaggy, low-key likability that it makes you wish it were better.

"Run the Race" lacks the specificity that would make it feel real to the audience.

2.5/5

"Run the Race" won't convert any nonbelievers, or even spark a "Hmmm!" type of fleeting insight into the nature of faith, but for Christian faith-based families, it'll be quite satisfying.

It's a sincere work, even if we remain unconverted.

Bottom line is I left the theater feeling love and hope. That's a big deal. Well done, and thank you to all involved. All of the acting was at least decent, but Evan Hofer played Dave with a naturalness, likeability and faith-rooted -- yet subtle and humble -- confidence that was especially believable. His inner light is contagious. Warmly shot and comfortably paced, this movie avoids the melodrama, forced dialogue, and message overkill that plagues some Christian-themed efforts. Yet it's clearly Christian, and that's precisely why I like it. For the writers of some of the reviews and comments I've read , merely touching upon God or the Bible and portraying Christian beliefs and culture in a positive light render this film "preachy" and "Bible-thumping." They also say no real people live or believe like this. But "Run the Race" is hardly preachy, and from experience, I attest that it's a pretty fair representation of Christian life. I know many people like these characters. I also know that to many people on the outside of Christian culture, it can seem very alien and implausible. We just live in different worlds. But to me, the world depicted in "Run the Race" is a taste of heaven.

A lot of the ratings are bad. I personally think that this movie is so good, inspirational, and a very sweet story. Definitely my all time favorite movie!

Sometimes Christian-themed films can be cheesy or have substandard acting. This is not one of those films. Itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s funny, charming, tugs at the heart strings and is completely inspiring. The actors were a joy to watch, especially the lead actor who plays Zach Truett. A must see!!!

Need more movies like this. Showing realistic triumphs of the human spirit as well as the desperate need of the human condition and wait faith can do to resolve both
