DENVER, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For one day this
spring, moviegoers can catch the high-altitude action as a team of
leading ultra-marathon runners journey to Bhutan to set a speed record on the world's
hardest trek in "The Snowman Trek." Following the feature
content, attendees will view an exclusive Q&A with the
athletes, along with behind-the-scenes footage.
Tickets for "The Snowman Trek" can be purchased beginning
Friday, April 20, online by visiting
www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.
"The Snowman Trek" is presented by Fathom Events and Blue
Fox Entertainment on Thursday, May 17
at 7:00 p.m. (local time) in more
than 350 select movie theaters. A complete list of theater
locations will be available April 20
on the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are
subject to change).
Bhutan's high Himalayan
landscape is not known for athletic pursuits and its culture must
be persuaded to let the elite ultra-runners, Ben Clark, Timothy Olson, Anna Frost and Chris Ord, pursue their dream. The result is
an incredible shared accomplishment across 188.5 miles of
foreboding landscapes, resulting in a once in a lifetime adventure
that was always teetering on the edge of total failure.
"This documentary brings big mountains, a big story about
mountain culture and exclusive shots all to the big screen," said
Ben Clark. "That's why it should be
seen in movie theaters. Audiences will experience the environments
just as we did when they fly over the Himalayas, explore the
landscapes and feel the team's truest emotions."
"'The Snowman Trek' is an impressive tale of
perseverance in the face of adversity. This event illustrates what
a group of committed athletes, and people overall, can achieve with
enough resolve," Fathom Events CEO Ray
Nutt said. "We're proud to partner again with Blue Fox to
bring this spirited feature to cinemas nationwide."
