Description
Spring Author Series Presented by Yakima Valley Libraries
Born in Yakima to working-class, Mexican American parents, Noé Álvarez left behind a life of labor in fruit-packing warehouses to run in a marathon from Canada to Guatemala. “Spirit Run: A 6,000 Mile Marathon Through North America’s Stolen Land,” is the electrifying debut memoir in which he recounts the continent-spanning marathon that taxed him physically, and which also challenged him to re-imagine America and his place in it.
