Six Hours: Running For My Life in the Grand Canyon tells the true story of one man's attempt to defy the odds and run the Grand Canyon as a 64-year-old cardiac patient with multiple stents in his widow-maker aorta. It's 17 treacherous miles to the bottom and back up to the South Rim. Ultimately, the high-risk run becomes more than an athletic endeavor, as it compels him to reflect on his life, his mortality, and his legacy.

Reviews for Six Hours: Running For My Life in the Grand Canyon

Rick Mater stands as a testament that nothing is impossible. In Six Hours: Running for my Life in the Grand Canyon he describes a journey that transcends running and gives hope to all of us. His writing is both direct and honest and I was gripped and deeply moved by this story of human triumph against seemingly insurmountable odds. -Dean Karnazes, ultramarathoner & New York Times bestselling author
