"A handful of grueling, yet distinctly human moments grace Auerbach's film, which chronicles the epic race from San Diego to Atlantic City. These scenes encapsulate the soul of one of the cycling world's toughest and most misunderstood events. The film is a success. NBC aired it as a special feature and RACE ACROSS AMERICA earned top honors at the Boulder International Film Festival."

"When Stephen Auerbach filmed the epic endurance event, the Race Across America, he put the rookie quest at the center of the feature film that he created. I saw the film at the Boulder International Film Festival and thought that it was one of the best RAAM films ever made, reminiscent of Jim Lampley’s ABC broadcasts."
