Go Run!, a running program for fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade girls on Bainbridge Island, will screen “There Is No Finish Line: The Joan Benoit-Samuelson Story” at Bainbridge Cinemas at the Pavilion at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.

“I’ve never dropped out of any race I’ve started.”

These confident words begin the documentary and illustrate Benoit-Samuelson’s devotion and passion. Her story is an exciting message of human potential, beating long odds and sustaining healthy philosophies for the planet and the human race.

The film follows the life of marathon great Joan Benoit-Samuelson as she advocates for environmental conservation, enjoys time with her family and trains for the 2010 Chicago Marathon, where she hoped to be the first woman to break three hours in five different decades. Mixed into the story are historic moments from her bid to make the first women’s Olympic marathon team, her eventual gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and world- record performances in Boston and Chicago.

It is an inspirational film by Portland-based director Erich Lyttle, producers Geoff Hollister and Sarah Henderson.

Tickets for the event may be purchased at the door for $10. All proceeds will benefit Go Run!

The community team uses running-based activities as tools to educate and empower participants in their physical and emotional lives, and to take charge of their own well-being. The program also provides coaching and mentoring volunteer opportunities for older girls and adults in the community. This season’s team is currently in the midst of training for a 5k road race.
