Born to Run

Christopher McDougall investigates why ordinary running so often injures modern bodies while the Rarámuri of Mexico’s Copper Canyons run extraordinary distances in sandals. Through science, race reporting, and an uneasy cross-cultural search for Caballo Blanco, the book asks what endurance, technique, community, and freedom reveal about why humans run.
