A film about the world's longest footrace - 3100 km covered in 52 days around a single city block in New York - and what it reveals: running can be a spiritual discipline before it is a performance.
Il existe un livre où le meilleur coureur de la course choisit de perdre, à quelques mètres du fil. "La Solitude du coureur de fond" d'Alan Sillitoe (1959) reste l'un des textes les plus radicaux jamais écrits sur la liberté de courir - et un cousin littéraire direct de l'esprit Spiridon.
In 2016, Swiss director Pierre Morath released "Free to Run," a documentary tracing five decades of the history of free running. Fred Lebow, Kathrine Switzer, Steve Prefontaine, and Noël Tamini, founder of the magazine Spiridon, tell the story of how running evolved from an elite stadium sport into a popular, libertarian movement. Our analysis of a film that speaks directly to the history of our brand.
A global bestseller since 2009, Christopher McDougall's Born to Run tells the story of the Tarahumara, those Mexican runners capable of covering hundreds of kilometers barefoot. A look back at a cult classic that changed how runners view the history of running, the joy of running, and, secondarily, their shoes and their stride.
The only book in which one of the world's most widely read authors talks about what running has truly taught him. No methods. No records. Just honesty about endurance, solitude, and decline.

Resolutely iconoclastic, the Spiridon playlist reflects the image of the brand: unclassifiable, unexpected, resolutely modern and yet timeless.
