My Run is a 2009 documentary film that follows the journey of Terry Hitchcock, a widower and a single father who runs 75 consecutive marathons in 75 consecutive days from his hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The film begins by introducing us to Hitchcock's life prior to his decision to run the marathons. Hitchcock's wife, Sue, had passed away due to breast cancer in 1984, leaving him to raise their three children on his own. The film also touches upon Hitchcock's struggles with alcohol and losing his job in the midst of raising his children.

After overcoming these obstacles, Hitchcock decides to embark on his mission to raise awareness for single-parent families and the challenges they face. He sets out to run a marathon a day starting in his hometown of St. Paul and ending in Los Angeles 75 days later, where he would arrive in the opening ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics.

From extreme weather conditions to physical exhaustion and injury, Hitchcock perseveres with the support of his family and friends. Throughout the documentary, we are introduced to several people who support Hitchcock and his cause, including his children and close friends.

One of the most significant parts of the film is the relationship between Hitchcock and his son, Chris. Chris was only eight years old when his mother passed away, and he struggled with the loss. As a result, the documentary shows the bond that quickly grows between Terry and Chris during the 75-day journey, as they are together every step of the way.

As Hitchcock runs from town to town, we see him become a symbol of hope for many people who come to support him and his cause.
