Christopher McDougall

Christopher covered wars in Rwanda and Angola as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press before writing his bestselling book Born to Run.

His fascination with the limits of human potential led him to create the Outside magazine web series, Art of the Hero.

His most recent book is Running With Sherman: How a Rescue Donkey Inspired a Rag-tag Gang of Runners to Enter the Craziest Race in America.

He currently lives with his wife, two daughters, and a farmyard menagerie in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Christopher joined us, along with Disney animator Michael Woodside, for our fifth classroom, Global Generations.
