"2000 years ago, 5000 years ago... runners were running across this country. Running across Europe, Africa, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, China... and today, even we communicate a little differently these days by faxes, telephones and computers, we're still advocating that the messages still be in the oldest way... by runners."
-Dennis Banks, founder
Sacred Run
On March 11, 1996 a select group of runners from the United States, Russia, Japan, Poland and Australia embarked on a 2,600 mile run from Huntington Beach, California to Atlanta, Georgia. This was Sacred Run, The Longest Run III founded by AIM co-founder Dennis Banks. The runners ran 30 miles a day from city to town through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia. This video is the opening trailer to a feature documentary produced by the Aveda Corporation, The Sacred Run Foundation and directed, shot and edited by Erik Gandolfi. Music from Jon Anderson's solo album 'Toltec' and from Narada Michael Walden.
