Description
Authors

Not only a history, but also an exploration of the what, why, and how of this classic mountain running challenge, the Bob Graham Round. It covers the genesis of the BGR and documents its development from idle challenge to its present status as a rite of passage for endurance runners. The Round is emphatically NOT a "how-to" guide. Longlisted for the TGO Outdoor Book of the Year 2015. With black & white plates.

Steve Chilton is the author of four previous books on fell and mountain running, all highly regarded both inside and outside the sport. The first, It’s a Hill, Get Over It, won the Bill Rollinson Prize for Landscape and Tradition. He is a long-time member of the Fellrunners Association. He has run in many of the classic fell races, as well as mountain marathons, and has completed the Cuillin Traverse. Now retired from Middlesex University where he was Educational Development Manager, he is also a former Chair of the Society of Cartographers and of the ICA Commission in Neocartography.
