1000 Miles...
Of grueling and unforgiving terrain.
Of wolf and bear tracks reminding you that you are not the king in this place.
Of unimaginable and humbling beauty.
Of unpredictable weather that tests even the most seasoned adventurer.
Of isolation and self reflection.
Of constantly fighting, reaching, crossing, and expanding both mental and physical limits.
1000 Miles...to Nome.
In 2019, Steve Cannon became the very first Iowan to finish the Iditarod Trail 1000-mile bike race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska.

"Steve Cannon sums up many things about life, learning, dreams, adversity, love and finding our place in this world that we can call home with his 40 day 1037 mile run around Lake Michigan. I could not put the book down once I started to read it."
"If you live in our wonderful state of Iowa, the chances are that you have heard of Steve Cannon. His adventures have helped raise nearly a million dollars for those in the Cancer fight. He is our marathon man. His book, 40 Days, is an inspiring, at times funny, and at times heartbreaking read."
Steve Cannon’s “40 Days” is more than just a gripping account of his remarkable journey around Lake Michigan on foot; it is a story of love, compassion, and loss and, finally, of the strength of the human spirit that allows all of us to accomplish great things, if only we believe we can.
