10-18-2018

NASHVILLE Run the Race, an inspiring film about two young brothers facing unbelievable odds with an unbreakable bond announced a distribution deal with Roadside Attractions this week with a nationwide release set for February 22, 2019.  It marks former football gridirion great Tim Tebow’s first foray into motion pictures in his role as an executive producer.

“I wanted to be part of something that’s encouraging and inspirational to the viewer,” the former Heisman Trophy winner explains. “I believe Run the Race accomplishes this by showing two brothers struggling with real life, but getting through it by supporting each other and their faith. I hope those who see it can walk away with more faith, hope, and love.” 

Run the Race stars Mykelti Williamson (Fences, Forrest Gump) as the boys’ coach, Frances Fisher (Titanic, Unforgiven) as their surrogate mother, Tanner Stine (NCIS, HBO’s Here & Now) as Zach and Evan Hofer (Kickin’ It) as David. The supporting cast includes Kristoffer Polaha, Mario Van Peebles and Heisman-winner Eddie George, along with many others. From Reserve Entertainment and 10th Leper Productions, the film is directed by Chris Dowling (Where Hope Grows); and co-written by McEntire, Dowling, and Jason Baumgardner.
