‘Given To Fly’ by Brian Morrison

Brian Morrison finally published the tell-all book he’s been teasing for a long time:

For nearly one hundred miles through the brutal heat of California’s Sierra Nevada, Morrison ran stride for stride with the sport’s greatest champion, chasing what seemed impossible: victory at the world’s most iconic ultramarathon.

Then, within sight of the finish line, everything fell apart.

In one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Western States Endurance Run, Morrison collapsed on the track just 250 meters from victory. What followed was confusion, controversy, and heartbreak that would ripple through the ultrarunning world for years.

I’ve heard many variations and bits and pieces of this story in recent years. Can’t wait to read the definite account ‘from the horses mouth’.

Not sure why I can’t find the book on Bookshop.org, but you can get it on Amazon.
