26.2 follows four New Yorkers training for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon: a retired math teacher, an NYPD administrative aide, a public defender, and an elevator mechanic.
Between them, they’ve survived a stroke, cancer, a life-changing house fire, and finishing dead last in the 2023 race. This isn’t a story about running fast. It’s a story about getting there at all. Directed by Nicolas Heller, also known as @newyorknico, the film was inspired by his coverage of the NYC Marathon finish line. Created with support from New York Road Runners, and featuring NYRR's Team Inspire. Produced by m ss ng p eces, E 89th Street Productions, and Heller Films.
