description: At the heart of every run is an adventure, and never has adventure running been given such full voice as in this collection of stories by Don Kardong, a former Olympian and world-class marathoner. Among the tales here, Kardong relates 10 years of "ultra" running adventures, from a race across the Grand Canyon to a run up the Empire State Building to the first marathon in Vietnam. Whether you're an armchair athlete or a serious runner looking for inspiration and entertainment, you'll see why Sports Illustrated called Don Kardong "the only spiritual descendent of Mark Twin ever to bring his unsparing eye and antic voice to running."
