"A delight, full of heart and hijinks and humor." āJohn Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
When Christopher McDougall decided to adopt a donkey in dire straits, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. But with the help of his neighbors, Chris came up with a crazy idea. Burro racing, a unique type of competition in which humans and donkeys run side by side over mountains and through streams, would be exactly the challenge Sherman and Chris needed. In the course of Shermanās training, Chris would enlist Amish running clubs, high-spirited goats, the service animal community, and two Sarah Palināloving long-distance female truckers. Shermanās heartwarming story of overcoming all odds to run one of the most unbelievable races in America shows the healing power of movement and the strength of the human-animal connection.
Look for Christopher McDougall's new book, Born to Run 2, coming in December!
