You've seen them. The people with funny-looking clothes, a number pinned to their chest, and they're running. Running to where? Usually in a big circle, or in many smaller circles. Sometimes in a straight line back and forth. For hours on end. Why? Because they can. They're marathon runners. This book is about a special group of runners: endurance marathoners, those who run dozens of marathons, many events on consecutive days, or both. You'll read about a specific group of these runners, who embarked on a journey to America's Dust Bowl to run 5 marathons in 5 states in just 5 days. They began as individual runners and left as family. Along the way, they found courage, inspiration, triumph, and friendships that will last a lifetime.
