The North Face has announced an exclusive live signing by renowned American ultra-runner, Dean Karnazes, of his book Run! 26.2 Stories of Blisters and Bliss at The North Face Store in Covent Garden, London, on Thursday July 7th 2011.

In Run! Karnazes shares the pleasure and pain of some of his most memorable adventures, including the notorious 4 Deserts races encompassing four separate 155-mile runs across the Atacama Crossing, the Gobi, the Sahara and Antarctica, and his annual attempts at the Badwater Ultramarathon in Death Valley, California in +45 degrees’ heat.

The long-standing The North Face team athlete recently completed a 3000-mile ‘Run Across America’ from California to New York in 75 days. His goal to inspire Americans to be active was honoured by Michelle Obama with a reception at the White House.

Dean Karnazes’ first book, Ultramarathon Man, was a New York Times bestseller translated into 12 languages. Dean has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity through his running career, and recently started his own foundation, Karno Kids.
