The Tarahumara Indians of the Copper Canyon in Mexico may be the world's greatest long-distance runners, and they do it without technologically advanced shoes and the other accoutrement of the modern world.
Christopher McDougall's search for the Tarahumara introduces a cast of loners, misfits, rogues and other interesting characters who populate the world of ultramarathons. His quest for their secrets reveals that we may be who we are because our ancient ancestors ran. And his sharp and fun style make for a fascinating and fast-paced read.
