A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
"The legendary book that launched a running revolution — and revealed how humans are the greatest endurance athletes on earth."
Christopher McDougall had a question: Why does my foot hurt? The answer took him deep into Mexico's Copper Canyon to find the Tarahumara, an indigenous tribe of ultramarathon runners who race hundreds of miles in sandals. Born to Run weaves their story with cutting-edge science on human evolution, barefoot running, and the nature of endurance. It's equal parts adventure narrative, science journalism, and a love letter to the joy of running.
