Dubbed the "Mayor of Running," Bart Yasso is one of the best-known figures in the sport, but few people know why he started running competitively, how it changed his life, or how his brush with a crippling illness nearly ended his career a decade ago. With insight and humor, "My Life on the Run" chronicles the heatstroke and frostbite, heartache and triumphs he's experienced while competing in more than 1,000 competitive races during his nearly 30 years with Runner's World magazine.

Starting at 5:00pm, come out and meet this amazing man! Pick up a copy of Barts book, "My Life On The Run" - get it autographed by Bart & have your picture taken with him.

This event is open and FREE to the public but please let us know you are coming.
