McNally X Tracksmith July Run + Book Club: Born to Run

Lace up your running shoes! NYC-based independent bookstore McNally Jackson and Tracksmith — an independent running brand focused on "the amateur spirit"— have launched a monthly run club for the literary minded!

This month, we will read Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, which takes us from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe!

For the July run, we will meet at the Tracksmith Trackhouse (147 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249). Doors will open at 9:00am, and we will go out on a 5k run at 9:30am (30 minutes earlier than usual to beat the heat!). Afterwards, we will have a cozy discussion of the book as we cool down with coffee and treats.

To sign up for future updates, follow @mcnallyjackson on Instagram, sign up for the McNally Jackson newsletter and Tracksmith newsletter, and follow Tracksmith's Strava page for route information.
