A picture from the Chicago Marathon. I read this book thirty years ago. A quite good read and not a bad movie. Hopefully, some will consider it a classic.

Is this a classic? I don't think so but never mind this.
(I do like a lot that for this challenge I have to look up books and authors.)
I did not read the book, just the synopsis and it's considered a "conspiracy thriller" in which the marathon itself seems not to play such an important role as in your shot.
It's an engaging picture and I can see some foul play here - perhaps a wee too saturated but a good shot

I regret to say that this doesn't qualify as inspiration from the novel. It's a good action shot of runners however. The color and tonal range is visually appealing and conveys the spirit of a track meet. But not the novel. 5
I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure if the tie to the story is there. An interesting picture, it definitely feels like they are rushing by. Maybe a little too much movement though, as it's difficult to find any focus. 5
A good blur, gives the feeling of a marathon and the man at the back. Doesn't quite connect enough to the novel in any other way for me, but I like the shot all the same.5.
I like the swirling of the runners. I wish you could have taken down the bright light streak at the top of the photo -- it really draws the eye away from the wonderful frenzy. -6-
Excellent motion blur and beautiful colors! Nicely caught, really seems to capture the movement in the race. And obviously, very applicable to the book title chosen!
