The thrilling adventure of McDougall began with a simple question: Why does my foot hurt? Isolated in the deep canyons of Mexico, the happy Tarahumara Indians run hundreds of kilometers without breaks, without rest, and without injuries.

Their superhuman talent for running helps them maintain good health and a peaceful life, making the Tarahumara immune to diseases, stress, and other woes of modern life. Award-winning journalist and long-suffering runner Christopher McDougall sets out to uncover their secrets and ends up with a captivating story.

He travels to the scientific laboratories of Harvard and the hot valleys of North America, where more and more long-distance runners push their bodies to the limit. The story culminates when the planet's top ultramarathoners compete against the Tarahumara in the greatest running race that (never) was seen by the world.
