Is it normal to run a marathon... as a warm up?
"Run, Pharm Boy, Run!" is a short documentary profiling Charles Wickersham, pharmacist and ultrarunner, as he undertakes the San Francisco One Day race. The One Day is a 24 hour race run annually at Crissy Field next to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Charles races in support of a charity called "Teens Run Modesto" which helps local teens learn and grow through training for a marathon. For more information, please visit their website at:

RPR is It Donned On Me's first non-competition film (we primarily compete in timed filmmaking events such as the 48 Hour Film Project), and is the first in a planned series of profiles of ordinary people who do extraordinary things.
