NAU and Flagstaff represent our sport at its best.-Meb Keflezighi, 2014 Boston Marathon winner
In a remote Arizona mountain town more than half a century ago, a collegiate dynasty was born. Northern Arizona University learned about excellence in the altitude mecca of Flagstaff, a training ground for generations of legendary runners. But this school with no traditional powerhouse credentials fought to build momentum and a culture of success over decades before finally exploding to become the country's preeminent distance-running team.
Running Up the Mountain is a moving portrait of an elite squad with colorful characters fighting to reach the summit of their sport amid the pressure of intense rivalries and the jarring impact of COVID-19.
From quaint beginnings to national champs, grit and commitment endure as defining features . . . when you're running with the Lumberjacks.
