Fred Lebow was a dreamer, the kind of dreamer who pursued his dream and made it a reality. And the world is still reaping its rewards. So begins this inspiring chronicle of a humbly born Holocaust survivor who parlayed natural marketing smartsand visioninto a major position in recent American sports. He started the New York City Marathon, an event that transformed footracing from an elite, austere sport into a wildly applauded, attainable pursuit for all. Forging a path across the citys five boroughs, the marathon covers a daunting 26.2mile course. Ron Rubins fascinating book tells how Lebow popularized the race. With a stroke of marketing wizardry he turned it into the worlds largest block party: a gritty mixture of urban theater and kindly entrepreneurship. This event has honored the spirit of the moment, imbued competition with joy, and celebrated play. It put winning within the realm of every man and woman and became a race for all runners. Lebow mainstreamed the notion of marathoning into popular culture; some halfmillion Americans now participate in the events. Equally significant, the book describes how Lebow scored his greatest personal victory by running in the marathon he created after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
