Synopsis
SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2025
‘A story of triumph, record breaking and joy erased by injury, doubt, despair and darkness. A fascinating insight into the life of a world-class athlete.’ JOHN TREACY
‘David Gillick is searingly honest about his talent and vulnerabilities. He brings you into the brutally competitive world of track and field, and through the realities of making it and failing in front of the eyes of the world.' DERVAL O’ROURKE
In The Race, David Gillick, one of Ireland’s most successful 400m runners and best-loved athletics analysts, shares the inside story of life on the track. Dive into the real world of elite athletics – where the stakes are high, the margins razor-thin and the cost often hidden.
From long odds to scarce funding, sky-high expectations and a constant fight to stay in the game mentally and physically, enter a world of brutal training, pressure to perform, burnout, and the ever-present shadow of doping and disillusionment.
Candid, compelling and written with clarity and bite, The Race goes beyond the medals to ask what happens when your entire life is defined by speed – and what’s left when the race is over.

After retiring from athletics, David competed in MasterChef, wrote two cookbooks and now works in sports reporting.
