Why We Run
Running is the most democratic sport on earth - requiring no equipment, no membership, no barrier to entry. This Al Jazeera documentary asks why hundreds of thousands of ordinary people willingly put themselves through the agony of marathons. From elite Kenyan runners to first-time finishers, it explores what drives humans to push their bodies to the absolute limit.
