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.

Rated: 2/4

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

"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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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

Predictable, corny and cheesy. Story has been told many times. Zach's hair was always in the way and all the Bible speak was over the top. Happy for him tho.

Great movie with an excellent message of spiritual growth and coming back from hard times. Can tell the Critics don't like Christian messages of growth, love, forgiveness, and faith against the world. But thankfully this movie is not for them, it is for people who like those stories.
