Rim to Rim to Rim on a Whim: An Endurance Junkie’s Guide to the Grand Canyon (The Endurance and Grit Series)

Millions of visitors set eyes on the Grand Canyon annually, yet less than 1% venture into the canyon. A very select few complete the iconic journey from one rim to the next rim and back with no stoppage. In need of an annual noteworthy athletic endeavor, 30+ year endurance athlete, military veteran and “professional running enthusiast” Tony Hofmann seeks to fill a gap created when the 2021 Boston Marathon is postponed until October. With limited planning–on a whim–he chooses to tackle one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim trek, with minimal breaks. Relying on decades of experience, detailed planning and a personal DNA forged in grit, he provides a roadmap and useful details for the few who choose to set foot within the confines of one of the most picturesque locations on our planet.
