Fantastic
The book was for my grandson whose birthday was yesterday. He is 13. He runs 5K’s and cross-country at school and he was very excited about the book, but more excited was his grandfather and aunt who run marathons all over the world they had never seen a book so beautiful, so thank you.

Not enough emphasis on 'world' races - too many US ones
A little disappointed in this book to be honest. Purchased as a gift but had a flick through first. For a book titled 'the world's ultimate races and trails', I was surprised to find that over half of the races are in the USA. Many of rest of the races are major city marathons. The first section, 'short races', of the 15 races described, 14 were in the US, the other in Canada. The only UK race was the London Marathon. The pictures are nice as you would expect from National Geographic. I also have the Lonely Planet Epic races book. I wish I had bought that as the gift instead. I feel like this book is definitely geared to people living in the USA.
