Flanagan's Run
Flanagan's Run is a 1982 novel written by Scottish athlete and author Tom McNab.[1] Set in 1931, the story covers an epic footrace across the continental United States. 2,000 runners run the 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to New York City competing for a prize of $150,000.[2] The fictional race was inspired by the actual 1928 Bunion Derby, which covered the same route.[3] On its publication in 1982, the book sold several hundred thousand copies, topped The Times bestseller list in the UK, and was translated into 16 languages.[4] An audiobook version of Flanagan's Run, read by actor Rupert Degas, was published in 2010.[5] Movie rights are owned by Miramax Films.[2][6] References
