Chasing a record. Finding something more.
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.
Join Paul Giblin as he takes on one of the longest and toughest trail runs in the world, battling the extremes, pushing beyond breaking point, and ultimately realising that true adventure isn’t measured in time—it’s measured in depth.
