Produktinformationen "Running For Their Lives"
In 1928 two extraordinary Englishmen competed in an unprecedented event - a transcontinental road race across America that required them to run an average of 40 miles for 80 consecutive days. Despite being separated by class education and age Peter Gavuzzi and Arthur Newton became close friends and formed a successful business partnership as endurance athletes. They raced in 500-mile relays in 24-hour events in snowshoes and against horses; and they became the stars of a craze for endurance events that swept across depression-era North America and the most famous long-distance runners in the world. However history has forgotten these two men and in Running for Their Lives - in a story peopled with remarkable characters unimaginable feats and tragic twists of fate - they only now receive the recognition they so richly deserve.
