Bart Yasso & Dean Karnazes

Description

In the world of running, both Bart Yasso and Dean Karnazes are legends.

Dubbed the "Mayor of Running," Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in road racing, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career. My Life on the Run chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he's experienced while competing in more than 1,000 races on all seven continents.

Arguably, the best-known ultra-runner alive, Dean Karnazes has shared his adventures in two earlier books, Ultramarathon Man and 50/50: What I Learned from Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days. Now he brings his inspirational attitude to Chicken Soup for the Soul: Runners. This book contains 101 stories from runners, telling their stories to other runners about. running -- how it has changed their lives, their bodies, and their spirits. Runners will love these inspirational stories of fellow runners challenging themselves, recovering from injuries, and staying motivated. It holds plenty of stories for triathletes too, covering swimming and cycling.

It's a treat to be able to host an event with these two inspiring athletes. Away from the crowds that usually surround them at races and at marathon expos, this is your chance to get up-close and personal with Bart and Dean! Bonus: raffle prizes and light refreshments.
