Ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes Pens New Book Chronicling His Life

On The Mountain Life, best-selling author and ultramarathoning legend Dean Karnazes comes on.

Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits, from running in the shoe-melting heat of Death Valley to the lung-freezing cold of the South Pole.

He’s raced and competed across the globe and even ran 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. 

In his new book, A Runner’s High: My Life in Motion, Karnazes chronicles his adventures leading up to racing in the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in his mid-fifties after first completing the race decades ago.

Karnazes confronts his age, career path, and life choices in what becomes the most demanding competition of his life. 

Pete Stoughton is the Brand Relations Manager at Trail and Ultra Running as well as the Director of Programs at CCPC. Basically, he is the behind the scenes guy at TAUR. When he's not getting his TAUR on, or running 2-3,000 miles a year. His own personal running ranges from 100 mile races to track workouts. Nevertheless, a scenic run with friends is were he finds inner peace.
