What compels us to run 50 miles in a day, or 100, or to just set out on a really long day in the mountains? And what do we have in common with people who work on assembly lines, or eat 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, or spend their lives trying to eat at 600-plus Cracker Barrel restaurants?
Brendan Leonard (@semi_rad) explores these questions and more in his new book, Ultra-Something, publishing May 23, 2024—but available before that are the in-person event series. In a special presentation titled "Some Questions You May (Or May Not) Have About Ultrarunning," Brendan will mine his own pain for laughs while sharing insights and observations from two decades of mountain adventures and a decade of ultra-distance running.
Don’t miss out on Brendan’s humorous reflections and rants as a trail and ultrarunner, answer audience questions, sign books — and we'll have refreshments on hand.
*Some events start with an optional group run!
