If you want a fairy tale ending, listen to Snow White. If you want to know what it’s like to dream big, fail hard, get up again, and feel crushing defeat even as you finally taste victory—UNTETHERED is for you.

Four years after his 2018 Trans Canada run crashes and burns, four-time champion ultrarunner Dave Proctor returns with a fierce resolve to conquer 7000+ kilometres, a 30-year-old record and his own personal demons.

This raw yet frequently hilarious real-life adventure takes you on a wild rollercoaster of grit, willpower, sacrifice and suffering, punctuated by the steep mountain roads, terrifying near-misses, crushing fatigue, fraying relationships and fleeting joy that were his life for 67 days, 10 hours and 27 minutes—followed by a devastating aftermath.

An honest and open account of running coast-to-coast. The physical stress plus the strain on relationships, which can be heavier and harder than the miles. Human-human interactions, social media and the “court of public opinion”. Lots of great take-aways. Same story line as a Goggin’s novels but different perspective and plot. Honest and entertaining. Could not help but root for Team Dave and he’s not in it for the followers. Great human. Loved and recommended.

Keeping it real
