The Running Film Festival (RFF), scheduled for July 3-5 on the University of Oregon campus, is the first film festival ever devoted to the subjects of track & field, road racing, cross country, marathon and ultra endurance running. This inaugural event will coincide with the U.S. Track & Field Trials and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Ryan Shay Memorial Fund.

Many of America’s most well known athletes and motivational icons will be featured in the feature films and documentaries screened over the three day event. In addition, today’s brightest stars, accomplished Olympians, and legends of the sport will make guest appearances and participate in Q&A sessions with the audience.

In an effort to complement the trials schedule, the festival will commence in the evening when the events have concluded for the day.

The RFF is presented by Nissan, sponsored by TheFinalSprint.com and Running Times, and Saucony serves as the official footwear sponsor. In addition, BR Sportswear, Videe-O’s, Running DVD’s, and the KDUK & KOOL radio stations are all “Dash” level sponsors of the event.
