Bridge Runners can meet The Black Cactus and get inspired before their race when Abdi Abdirahman signs copies of his autobiography, Abdi’s World: The Black Cactus on Life, Running, and Fun, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Friday, April 1.
Look for the Itinerant Literate Books booth at the Cooper River Bridge Run expo, which is at the Charleston Area Convention Center, 5001 Coliseum Drive, North Charleston, South Carolina.
Abdi, who competed in his fifth Olympics last summer and won the master’s division at the Boston Marathon last fall, is fresh off another master’s victory at the New York City Half Marathon earlier this month.
Thank you, Bridge Run, for including Abdi at the expo, and thank you, Itinerant Literate Books, for hosting Abdi at the 45th anniversary of one of America’s great road races.
