The thrilling adventure of McDougall began with a simple question:
Why does my foot hurt?

Isolated in the deep canyons of Mexico, the happy Tarahumara Indians run hundreds of kilometers without breaks, without rest, without injuries. Their superhuman running talent helps them maintain good health and a peaceful life, making the Tarahumara immune to diseases, stress, and other afflictions of modern life.

Award-winning journalist and seasoned runner Christopher McDougall sets out to uncover their secrets and ends up with a captivating story. He travels to the scientific laboratories of Harvard and the scorching valleys of North America, where more and more long-distance runners are pushing their bodies to the limits. The story culminates when the world's top ultramarathoners compete against the Tarahumara in the greatest running race the world (never) saw.

After all, we don't stop running when we get old.
We get old when we stop running.
