Can We Run With You, Grandfather?

Seven Continents: Seven Decades

About this book

An aging runner's quest to conquer seven continents and inspire future generations.

Doug Richards, now approaching 70, is on a mission to run a half marathon on each of Earth's seven continents. This isn't just about personal achievement; it's about proving that age is no barrier to adventure and inspiring his grandchildren to embrace a healthy, active lifestyle. From close encounters with humpback whales in Antarctica to navigating the challenges of the Drake Passage, Doug shares his experiences with humor and humility.

This travel memoir is for anyone who dreams of pushing their limits, exploring the world, and leaving a positive impact. Discover how Doug confronts physical and mental hurdles, celebrates the camaraderie of fellow runners, and rediscovers his passion for life. Will he achieve his goal and inspire his family along the way?
