Born to Run

“Equal parts quest, physiology treatise, and running history…. The climactic race reads like a sprint…. It simply makes you wish to have to run.” —Outside Magazine

Isolated by Mexico’s deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and ceaselessly-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he’s taking his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North The us, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, in spite of everything, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits The us’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s improbable story won’t only engage your mind but inspire your body while you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

Look for Born to Run 2, coming in December!
