The 27th Mile - An Evening with Author Dimity McDowell

Overview

Join us on Tuesday, August 18, for an inspiring evening with Dimity McDowell, author of The 27th Mile.

Through a candid conversation, Dimity will share the deeply personal story behind her book and explore what happens when running - or another athletic pursuit that has shaped your identity - is no longer possible because of injury, chronic pain, or illness.

The evening will feature an interview with Olympian Carrie Tollefson, followed by audience Q&A. After the program, stick around to meet Dimity during a book signing. Copies of The 27th Mile will be available for purchase.

Whether you're a lifelong runner, an athlete navigating change, or someone who enjoys an inspiring story of resilience, join us for an evening of meaningful conversation and connection.
