Raw and inspiring, The Long Run Home is a memoir of resilience, belonging, and the joy found in turning pain into purpose. The story of one woman with a mission to run 3,288 miles solo across America for her mother and the disease that was crippling her.
Ashley Schneider’s life at sea seemed idyllic-belaying rock walls and leading surf lessons, with friends in every port. She wasn’t seeking a reason to confront the pain she carried from her mother’s disease. Then, an ordinary three-mile run in Barcelona called her home with an audacious idea to make a difference, trading her cruise-ship uniform for running shoes and a borrowed motorhome.
Schneider ran through blistered feet, heat exhaustion, and doubt as she completed 125 consecutive marathons from San Francisco to New York-raising funds and awareness for MS research while testing the reaches of human strength, courage, and heart. The Long Run Home is equal parts adventure, legacy, and call to action, proving the toughest terrain often leads us back to where we belong-and the truths that set us free.
