Show Synopsis
An absurd sports comedy short featuring a half dozen cross-country runners trying to follow Jesus and stay on the designated path until the finish line. Obstacles, distractions, and temptations arise taking runners out of contention one at a time in funny and surprising ways. Sports commentator "Brock Viper" narrates the action with the relentless enthusiasm of Dick Vitale.
The race ends in a touching moment when Jesus helps the last remaining runner cross the finish line when the injured competitor humbly asks for help.
Character Breakdown

a steady pace for up to a minute at a time.
