Natural Born Heroes | Fun Run & Stage Show
Christopher McDougall, who famously described Native-Mexican ultra-marathoners in Born to Run, turns his gaze to Crete and daring World War II resistance fighters in Natural Born Heroes: How a Daring Band of Misfits Mastered the Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance. McDougall’s new book is, at once, a thrilling depiction of a Nazi general’s kidnapping by author-adventurer Patrick Leigh Fermor, and a description of what it takes physically and mentally to attempt the heroic. Join Christopher McDougall and his “Heroes Gang” for the Brooklyn launch of Natural Born Heroes. McDougall will lead an optional fun run sponsored by JackRabbit Sports, followed by a one-of-a-kind stage show featuring the lost arts of the Ancient Greek Heroes.
Books will be for sale from Community Bookstore. Event tickets are $10.
