In his follow-up to the best-selling Ultra-Marathon Man,
world-renowned ultra marathoner Dean Karnazes chronicles his
unbelievable exploits and explorations in gripping detail; Karnazes runs
for days on end without rest, across some of the most exotic and
inhospitable places on earth, including the Australian Outback,
Antarctica, and the back alleys of New Jersey.
From the downright hilarious to the truly profound, the stories in
Run! provide readers with the ultimate escape and offer a rare glimpse
into the mindset and motivation of an extreme athlete, one who has,
according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Not only pushed the envelope
but blasted it to bits."
Karnazes addresses pain and perseverance, and he also charts the
emotional as he pushes to the edges of human achievement. The tales of
the friendships he's cultivated on his many adventures around the world
warm the heart, and are sure to captivate and inspire readers whether
they run great distances, modest distances, or not at all.
The hardcover edition was met with the enthusiastic support of
Karnazes's devoted fan base, and word-of-mouth excitement as well as
media coverage from LIVE! with Regis and Kelly brought the book to the
attention of scores of new readers. Karnazes's colorful tales of his
extreme running adventures are as entertaining as they are innately
human, giving the book potential as a perennial paperback favorite.
