Boston Marathon Bandits: A true to life story told by one of tens of thousands proud Boston Marathon Bandits

Throughout the past 48 years (beginning in 1970), when the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) instituted qualifying times for the Boston Marathon, much has been said and many articles have been written about the beloved Boston Marathon Bandits. This book tells a comprehensive story about the bandits and how they have been treated by the BAA throughout the many years, as seen through the eyes of a bandit (the author). The author will also talk about how to prepare for a marathon, as well as take you through the race course, mile by mile, and point out the many interesting things and nuances regarding the course. In addition, the author will talk about the spectators, interesting people he has met on the race course throughout the years, as well as provide numerous insightful tips regarding marathon training and how to avoid and nurture common running injuries. Guy Carafone is a lifetime runner who has run over 70,000 miles life to date, as well as completed 12 Boston Marathons, one as a registered runner and the other 11 as a bandit.
