Next Tuesday, seven time Western States Endurance Run Champion
Scott Jurek will be visiting Seattle for a
run and a book signing as he promotes his new book Eat and Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness. Jurek, who once called Seattle home, will be leading a group
run from Fleet Feet Sports on
Capitol Hill at 6 pm and then he will discuss and sign copies of Eat and Run at The Elliot Bay Book Company at 7 pm.
His book, which was released on June 5th, allows running fans to peek
into Jurek’s life as an elite ultrarunner who is also a vegan. The evening is co-sponsored
by Brooks Running and welcomes all paces during the run. Arrive at Fleet Feet
Sports by 5:45 pm to register for a chance to win a pair of Brooks Shoes or a copy
of Eat and Run.
Trail Runner Magazine’s
review of Jurek’s book called Eat and Run
“a
shockingly honest, revealing and inspiring memoir.”
In addition to winning Western States seven years in row(1999-2005),
Jurek also claimed victories in high profile races such as the Hardrock 100,
the Miwok 100k, the Badwater 135 Mile Ultramarathon and Greece’s legendary 153 Mile Spartathlon in
2007 and 2008.

Evening with Scott Jurek on June 12th.
