26.2 to Life

26.2 TO LIFE explores the transformative power of San Quentin State Prison’s 1000 Mile Club, in which incarcerated men are coached by elite marathoners who come into the prison to train the runners for an annual marathon that takes place behind the walls of the prison. With a zero percent recidivism rate among the club’s released members, the 1000 Mile Club shows how powerful community engagement can be, not just for the runners, but also for the volunteer coaches who gain a complex understanding of who ends up in prison and why and what true rehabilitation looks like.
