An engaging slice of Americana that almost manages to make back-breaking physical exertion look like a hell of a good time. Go to Full Review Joe O'Connell Austin Chronicle 08/02/2011
Sometimes the race is secondary, Baaden and Hume tell us in this beautifully shot and heartfelt doc about an annual team running event from Oregon's Mount Hood, past Portland and on to the ocean's edge. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 07/15/2011

Lovingly pieced together from a patchwork of stories, Hood to Coast is gorgeously shot and cheerfully sincere. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 07/15/2011
5.95/10
Heartfelt and stylishly edited with picturesque scenery, but it's often redundant, underwhelming and neither suspenseful nor insightful enough to be truly inspirational or captivating. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/18/2015 Ping me if you're in this year and need a runner. See more 01/13/2013 Now I really want to run Hood to Coast. See more 02/16/2011 Very entertaining and interesting documentary that follows several teams on the 197 mile relay race. See more 02/13/2011 A must see for anyone who has ever participated in this event. I enjoyed every second of this film See more 01/18/2011 covers 4 different teams and has a few interesting twists along the way. would've been nice to have seen more of the elite team. the flow of the documentary was nice. the out-of-order'ness of one particular scene had a nice impact. See more 01/11/2011 Totally engaging, entirely fun, completely exhilarating and surprisingly hilarious. This wasn't a perfect film though. They did not at all discuss logistics, highlit few teams and individuals on the course, and spent way too much time with an overbearingly maudlin family who lost a loved one. Still, thrilling to the max and it was a pleasure seeing it in the theater with a bunch of fit people who didn't buy any of the concessions. See more Read all reviews
