Summary
"This original social-science text approaches marathon running as an everyday practice and a designed event, to draw upon, and contribute to the literature on practice theory, urban events, rhythmanalysis and mobility. It bridges sport studies and discussions within sociology and geography about practice, movement and the city. It will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars in sport studies, geography, and sociology interested in running, active mobility and ethnography, as well as tourism and urban events. The book will also appeal to general readers with an interest in marathon running"-- Provided by publisher.
