Marathon The Novel


MARATHON - A Novel by Hal Higdon: Seventy-two hours to the start of a major marathon, and race director Peter McDonald faces numerous challenges, including a celebrity more famous than Oprah, the possible loss of his sponsor, the threat of warm weather while involved in a budding romance with TV reporter Christine Ferrara. "With all of the training books on the market,' says Runner's World's Amby Burfoot,"someone finally has written a novel that captures the essence of the marathon."

ON THE RUN FROM DOGS AND PEOPLE. Originally published in 1971, ORDP has become a cult classic, describing and defining the sport of long distance running before the first running boom began, when the Boston Marathon only attracted a few hundred serious (and sometimes screwy) runners. You will laugh, you will cry, as Higdon describes his own running origins beginning with his first competitive event: a sack race he won at a grade school event. This is the second printing of the third edition.
