The Speed Creeper

- Season 1

(2008)

Introduces star, Alan Benderhoven, a local New Jersey insurance salesman training to be the world's fastest speed-walker.

Watch Mrs. Benderhoven's temperature rise, as Alan leaves footprints in their yard racing toward Helsinki.

Three-time Olympic champ, Reginald Putz, shows the struggling Benderhoven some tough love as they prepare for the biggest race of Alan's career: The New Jersey Finals. Next stop Helsinki!

Balancing his passion and his livelihood, Benderhoven wrestles his demons and is touched by an angel in the most unlikely of places: The Office.

Kobe Gunnison, the Australian speed-walking sensation, paddles to America with blood, glory, and Benderhoven on his mind.

Alan's last sleep-over was 20 years ago, at the home of George Argiopoulos. He was 10. He got homesick. His Mom picked him up. Now, he's at the home of co-worker, Richard McGillicutty. He's 30. He's homesick. He's F#%^&!

Jamie Walters once sang out with pride, "How do you talk to an Angel"? Alan Benderhoven finds himself asking the same thing. Watch him court Bailey Hipner, 50's-style, with a Jimmy Stewart smile.

Survivor had it ...and so does Benderhoven. Leaving craters of determination in the sand from his well-worn track shoes, Alan searches his soul for the strength he will need to become a champion.

An entire year of training has come down to one long, winding, back country road in the season one finale. A man, his nemesis, his mother, his coach, his new found lover, and a healthy host of competitors lace up to tame some rock and rubble - deep in the heart of Jersey.
