McNally X Tracksmith May Run + Book Club: Once a Runner

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 Once a Runner by John L. Parker, Jr., which is the undisputed classic of running novels and one of the most beloved sports books ever published. Once a Runner tells the story of an athlete’s dreams amid the turmoil of the 60s and the Vietnam war. Please read the book before the run if you wish to join in our discussion!

(Please note the author will not be in attendance)

For the May run, we will meet at the Tracksmith Trackhouse (147 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249). Doors will open at 9:30am, and we will go out on a 5k run at 10:00am. 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.
