A unique combination of adventure, science and health, Born To Run puts a runner/journalist up against the sport of ultra-running, specifically around the culture surrounding the Copper Canyon. It’s a riveting read that will take you on an actual journey and make you want to get up and run yourself.

****NATIONAL BESTSELLER •** The astonishing and hugely entertaining story that completely changed the way we run. An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? “Equal parts quest, physiology treatise, and running history…. The climactic race reads like a sprint…. It simply makes you want 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 often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run. **Look for *Born to Run 2* , out now!**
