We Can't Run Away From This Summary

We Can't Run Away From This: Racing to improve running's footprint in our climate emergency by Damian Hall

What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?

In We Can't Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.

We can't run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.

We Can't Run Away From This Reviews

'Gut-wrenchingly serious but also cleverly light-hearted. It's impossible to read this book and not make changes to your life.' - Beth Pascall


'Damian has done diligent research and used his own life as a test case to show practical ways we can contribute to a better future, while still enjoying (most of) the things we love. Any runner should take the time to learn the information shared in this book.' - John Kelly


'People like Damian are showing all of us, with actions and wisdom, how we can better understand the complexity of climate change and other environmental problems, and how to go one step further by thinking about what we can do, as runners, to help.' - Kilian Jornet

Damian Hall is a parent, accidental activist and record-breaking ultrarunner who has represented Great Britain and competed in some of the world's toughest races.

Damian has also set records on the Paddy Buckley Round, the South West Coast Path, the Cape Wrath Trail, and Wainwright's Coast to Coast. He is a UK Athletics running coach and a widely published journalist who has made regular contributions to Runner's World, Women's Running and Trail Running. His previous books include In It for the Long Run, A Year on the Run and the official National Trail guide to the Pennine Way.
