Our featured content

As Ken Posner was staring out at the distant Catskill Mountains, they were whispering to him, a mixture of warning and enticement from sirens thousands of foot high.

New Yorker Ken records the moment in his new book, ‘Chasing The Grid,’ the story of how he went from city slicker and regular runner to a peak-bagging mountain man in love with plants and animals.

It’s a story we tell in ‘Running Tales: After all is said and run’
