The Complete History of Cross-Country Running: From the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
If you've ever wanted to know why we run cross-country, where history was made, and who made it, this book will tell you that, and more. It covers the years 1800-2017 (from high school through elites, worldwide), has 25 high resolution photos, specialty "Event Spotlights" for every decade, and standalone sections on XC in the Olympic Games, footware attire and technology through the ages, and female pioneers with the sport. Craig Virgin, the only U.S. runner to win the senior men's title at the World Cross Country Championships (achieved twice!), wrote the foreword.
The only one of its kind, and perfect for any athlete, coach, or fan of cross-country, the book will retail for $49.99 and be released by Carrel Books on January 2nd, 2018. You can pre-order it today to have it shipped the moment it hits the shelves.
