Product description...

“Lance’s story is the best kind of memoir—inspiring and relatable. He is the everyday-extraordinary friend that we all want in our lives who inspires us with wit and drive and a stubborn refusal to believe something is impossible. ‘Run Anyway’ grabs you from the first pages and brings you along on this fun and inspiring adventure that is Lance’s life as a runner, a creator, a giver and a partner in faith. A great story, funny, inspiring, and well told.” —Conor Grenan, author of the New York Times Bestseller “Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal” A GROUP OF FRIENDS DECIDE SOME THINGS ARE BIGGER THAN RECEIVING A FINISHER’S MEDAL IN THIS WITTY INSPIRATIONAL TELLING OF RUNNING TWO OF THE MOST FAMOUS MARATHONS IN HISTORY.

In 2012, Lance Svendsen, a 27-year-old youth pastor, finds himself on an amazing running journey. Originally motivated by the death of his uncle, it begins when the NYC Marathon is cancelled and a group of friends decide they are going to finish what they had trained to do. They complete the marathon without water stations, medals, fanfare, or even a designated course. Lance’s journey continues when he is entered into the Boston Marathon just a few months later, which ended with him witnessing the terrorist bombing at the finish line. What follows is a 50-mile ultra-marathon, and then a most rewarding trip into the mountains of Guatemala, where Lance finds himself carrying out sick children from a place where there was only one way to reach them—on foot. Run Anyway tells the refreshingly funny and inspirational story of a group of friends who knew they had to finish what they started.
