Final Finishers is a new short film about the back of the New York City Marathon pack.

The makers of the film are betting viewers will find runners far behind just as inspiring as the front of the pack.

New York Road Runners is not rushing to put more elite athletes on the screen.

A doctor who told Evans , 38 , that he needed to lose weight laughed when he said he wanted to run a marathon.

“Instead of punching the doctor like I wanted to, I bought running shoes that day ,” he says in the film.

Evans : “What’s more exciting is the underdog: somebody you did not expect to be out there.”.
