Synopsis
50th Anniversary Edition of Bruce Tulloh’s Four Million Footsteps - 2,876 miles, LA to NYC, 65 days
It’s exactly fifty years since Bruce Tulloh broke the record for running across America. He died in April 2018 and as a family we thought republishing Four Million Footsteps, his account of that run, would be a fitting tribute to this slight but indomitable man. Bruce loved going on an adventure — let him share his greatest one with you.
The original book, often described as “the greatest running book of all time”, is long out of print. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a small, battered paperback copy online (and it won’t be cheap!). Our new 50th Anniversary Edition will be a handsome thread-sewn hardback, beautifully designed and made, with 184 pages on substantial paper, printed and bound in Italy by specialists in high-quality book production.
Additional material in the new edition includes
- a foreword from Olympic gold medallist David Hemery CBE
- a new overview of Bruce’s development as a runner from childhood onwards
- new and previously unseen photographs unearthed from the family archive
- extracts from the transcontinental log book that evidenced his daily progress (lost for thirty years, it reappeared at Bruce’s memorial)
