THE LONG RUN shares the 7 principles Ben learned before, during and after races that he has applied to his real estate business and life.
THE LONG RUN is the story of Oregon's Ben Andrews and his quest to become one of America's top milers. After graduating from Portland's Parkrose High School in 1992, Ben returned for a 5th year of high school (it's a long story, but it's all in the book!). Ben received a Track & Field scholarship to the University of Oregon where he studied Sociology and History. During his time at the University of Oregon, Ben was 6-time PAC-10 finalist, 4-time All-PAC-10 Team, PAC-10 Runner-up, qualified for the NCAA Championships and provisionally qualified for the US Olympic Trials in his specialty, the 1,500 meter run. Ben later ran professionally and was mentored throughout his athletic career by legendary coaches Bill Dellinger, Dick Brown and Alberto Salazar.
Today, Ben works alongside his wife Heidi and together, they lead one of the top Real Estate teams in the United States. In addition to leading the 20 agents in their family-owned real estate brokerage, Ben and Heidi annually generate 250+ referrals and sell more than 100 homes each year.
Since 1999, The Andrews and their realtors have sold 7,000+ homes and over $2B in real estate.

'This is a wonderful story about life. And in life, the way we run our race often determines how strong we finish.'
'Ben beautifully outlines that in life, the best coach can be life itself.'
Success never comes overnight, you have to commit to taking the long-term/long-run approach to business, and life.
'I'm a proud momma!'
