Running for Good

From Executive Producer James Cromwell and award-winning director Keegan Kuhn comes Running for Good, the feature-length sports documentary narrated by Rich Roll, following world record marathon runner Fiona Oakes in her attempt not only to set a new global record in endurance racing, but to compete in the “toughest footrace on earth,” the Marathon Des Sables, a 250km race through the Sahara Desert.

Fiona Oakes has made a name for herself as a unique endurance runner. She is the fastest woman in the world to run a marathon on all seven continents, and the north pole, in both cumulative and elapsed time. Fiona’s achievements are made even more astounding due to the fact that she was told at age 14 that she would never walk properly, let alone ever run. She would undergo more than 17 radical knee surgeries which ultimately led to having her entire right kneecap removed. The process was agonizing, the rehab worse, the records she’s gone on to set even more astounding.

With overcoming her own adversity, Fiona’s true drive to achieve incredible feats of speed and human endurance are motivated by a deep desire to raise awareness for the plight of animals. Her achievements help fund a 450+ animal sanctuary that she takes care of every day.

Running for Good was produced by First Spark Media and directed by Keegan Kuhn. Find out more about the film at https://runningforgoodfilm.com/.

“What an amazing, inspiring and remarkable woman. It’s hard to believe the achievements Fiona Oakes has accomplished with very little publicity made about them. She should be respected and recognized for each and every one of her records as well as the unbelievable amount of time, work and dedication she shows to animals. I can’t recommend this documentary enough and am in awe of this lady. Wow!” – Valley Matt, IMBD
