LONG ROAD TO BOSTON: THE PURSUIT OF THE WORLD’S MOST COVETED MARATHON

The Ottawa-based writer and broadcaster self-published this book, which chronicles his quest to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Sutcliffe beat the qualifying standard by just 22 seconds, and this book is written from the perspective of a regular runner, rather than an elite. The book is in part a runner’s journal, but it also includes history and details about the Boston Marathon while offering life lessons, too. “Running has become an easy metaphor for me for a lot of things,” Sutcliffe told Postmedia.
