Twelve amateur runners compete in a 197-mile race and form bonds with their teammates.

Scott Von Doviak

AV Club

An engaging slice of Americana that almost manages to make back-breaking physical exertion look like a hell of a good time.

Rated: B+

Austin Chronicle

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.

Eugene Weekly (OR)

Lovingly pieced together from a patchwork of stories, Hood to Coast is gorgeously shot and cheerfully sincere.

NYC Movie Guru

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.

Rated: 5.95/10

An amateurish and unappealing documentary about participants in a 197-mile relay race.

Rated: 1/5

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.

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.
