Every sport has rules. Running is no exception. If you're curious, just visit the Web site of USA Track & Field, the sport's governing body, where you'll find detailed dictates on everything from disqualification to bib-number placement to the caliber of the starter's pistol.

But what about the everyday rules of running? The unspoken ones that pertain to the lingo, behavior, and etiquette that every seasoned runner seems to know and every newbie needs to learn? Veteran runner Mark Remy and the editors of Runner's World magazine provide answers to these very questions and many more in THE RUNNER'S RULE BOOK.

With 100+ rules that cover the basics of running, racing, track etiquette, and apparel and gear, including the hilarious commentary on running culture, THE RUNNER'S RULE BOOK will be the reference guide you'll turn to again and again for answers to your burning running questions.

Every sport has rules. Running is no exception. Anyone who's curious can visit the Web site of "USA Track & Field," the sport's governing body, to bone up on such topics as bib number placement, disqualification, and what caliber the starter's pistol must be. Those rules are good and necessary. But what about the real rules of running? The ones that address everyday, pedestrian concerns on the road, at the gym, or on the starting line? Very few runners agonize over the proper width of a painted finish line. ("No less than 5 centimeters" on a road course.) But what runner hasn't paused to ask himself: How can I tell if I'm a jogger or a runner? or Was that fellow runner being a jerk by not returning my friendly hello as we passed each other? or When is it acceptable to run shirtless, and when is it not? or What are the guidelines for clearing one's nose on the run? "The Runner's Rule Book "addresses these questions and many more in a clear, crisp manner that's entertaining while still being useful. Complete with illustrative cartoons, each of the 75 rules stands alone as its own very short chapter. Easy to pick up and hard to put down, "The Runner's Rule Book "is the quintessential "slim volume" for runners. And while it makes a perfect gift, its evergreen utility and entertainment value make it a must-have for any runner with a sense of humor.
