A four-year working partnership between the Boston Athletic Association and the producers of the public television series NOVA will culminate with the premier of “Marathon Challenge” on Tuesday, October 30, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
“Marathon Challenge,” produced by WGBH, Boston’s PBS affiliate, explores the transformation of 13 individuals as they train for the 2007 Boston Marathon. The one hour program, which explores the physiological changes that each runner undergoes during their training, culminates with the NOVA team’s participation in the 111th Boston Marathon on April 16, 2007.
The Boston Athletic Association granted NOVA access to the Boston Marathon and waived the qualifying standards for the NOVA cast, each of whom was making his or her marathon debut. Also, camera crews were permitted on certain parts of the Boston Marathon course during the race to document the progress of selected team members as they ran from Hopkinton to Boston.
