Victory Lap

Season 8 Episode 14 | 26m 14s

For some runners, the finish line is a milestone in a much bigger journey. Norah joins an all-women crew to conquer the Boston Marathon despite winds, hills and doubters; Jenny attempts a cross-country run, finding strength in failure and donuts; and Mel refuses to let a terminal leukemia diagnosis stop him from running a marathon. Three storytellers, three interpretations of VICTORY LAP.

Aired: 04/13/25
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD and GBH.
