Want a free DVD of “Run For Your Life”?

ByBlaine Moore

Last week, I reviewed the DVD of Run For Your Life, which follows the life of Fred Lebow as he brought about and grew the New York City Marathon.

Screen Media Films is providing me with 5 copies of the DVD to give away. Today through Wednesday, you will have an opportunity to win a copy through the website by just leaving a comment on the daily contest article. I will randomly choose one commenter each day from people that comment on that day’s article. I will also be giving away 2 copies to people that belong to my Running Tips Newsletter, so you have until Thursday morning to join my newsletter so that you can receive instructions about how to win one of those two copies through your email.

Be sure to get to a screening of the movie sometime this week in New York City, if you are in the area. And if you don’t win a copy of the movie this week through these contests, then be sure to pick up a copy after it is released tomorrow on DVD.

This is the article for today’s contest. Just leave a comment below for a chance to win the first DVD. If you link to today’s contest from your website, you can leave a second comment that includes the URL to the page that you linked from for a second chance to win the DVD. Anybody else leaving a second comment will have that comment deleted.

If you want to have a chance to win the 2 DVDs at the end of the week, then you will need to join my email newsletter before Thursday; if you are already on the newsletter then you are all set and will get instructions later in the week automatically! As a bonus, I am still giving away my free report about the 3 components of an Effective Workout Report. You can sign up from the newsletter description page, by entering your name and email in the sign up box above and to the right, or by just entering your information here:

  1. Count me in – I would love to watch this. I have been eagerly awaiting this post since I read your write-up about it late last week. I am already a e-mail subscriber.

    Thanks!

  8. I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie. Growing up in the NYC area, I always watched the NYC marathon on television (and since I have a fall birthday I can remember watching it on my birthday at least once). Thanks to Fred and his publicity, I don’t think that I even knew other marathons existed until I was about 18.

    I lived in NYC for a few years and was an active member of the NYRRC. In 2001 I ran the NYC Marathon on “Fred’s Team” to raise money for cancer research. Whether I win a copy or buy one, I can’t wait to see this movie.

  10. Oooh since I won’t be winning running races, perhaps I can win a dvd on running instead! Thanks Blaine!

  11. Great write up of the movie. Sounds like a very good movie and would be awesome to score a free copy…

  20. Looks interesting, I may pick this up regardles of the contest outom. Thanks for the information.

  33. Just saw Spirit of the Marathon which i
    recommend..Doing NY Marathon next Sunday

  35. Blaine, Once again I like your style. Particularly your “contest” rules for the give away: “I will be the complete and final judge. I can change the rules on a whim.”
    Since a whim is defined by WordWeb as “(1) a sudden desire, (2) An odd or fanciful or capricious idea” –I’m banking on the sudden desire or odd or fanciful idea…couldn’t imagine YOU being capricious! Thanks for the fun and as always the valuable insight and info you provide. Oh, and you’ll pls let us know if you get a ‘whim’ and what effect it had or how it affected the contest, right? Cheers, Steve W

  37. Hey Blaine!
    My running partner and I could use this for some inspiration. Our goal is the Chicago Marathon in 2010. Daily inspiration and training will get us through. Thanks for reading 🙂

  39. I really hope to win on of the DVD’s. They are typically beyond my budget and I could really benefit from good advice that will get me running more and better, without injury.
