From Down Under comes a movie about backwards running.

As The Border Mail reports, "Reverse Runner" is an Australian comedy centered on a backwards 100-meter race. The movie features a cameo by four-time Australian Olympic marathoner Steve Moneghetti, who initially thought the filmmakers were pulling a practical joke when they asked him to take part.

The filmmakers took about four years to finish the project and so far are distributing it themselves. They have a bit of Hollywood help in that Stephen Herek, director of "The Mighty Ducks" and "101 Dalmations," is helping to plug it.

Scott Douglas Scott is a veteran running, fitness, and health journalist who has held senior editorial positions at Runner’s World and Running Times.
