Paul Giblin’s A Run Through Darkness: The Struggle and Beauty of the Te Araroa.
Ultra-runner, coach & business owner Pyllon Ultra
“At the start, it was all about speed—breaking the fastest known time on New Zealand’s Te Araroa Trail, a brutal 3,000km journey from Cape Reinga to Bluff. But as the days unfolded, it became something entirely different. This is a story about resilience, suffering, and self-discovery. About what happens when the plan falls apart, and all that’s left is the raw experience—the land, the people, and the limits of the human body and mind”.
