内容简介：
Follow the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) cross country team as we run day and night for 2,730 miles through desert plains, mountain tops and freezing rain, all in the single-minded quest to carry a baton from the waters of the Pacific Ocean to the coast of the Atlantic. Our goal was to better a time set 25 years earlier, by another RIT team who first accomplished the feat. From the mouths of the athletes, find out how we survived on energy bars, went days without showers, avoided encounters with the police and made quite a few wrong turns, all the while keeping the baton moving and learning to band together through the darkest hours.
