Biography: sport; Extreme sports; Active outdoor pursuits

If you want a fairy tale ending, read 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.

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.

"""I knew Dave Proctor's record-setting run across Canada was hard-it's a really big a country, after all-but I had no idea how hard until I read Untethered. Following his progress as he navigates the physical, logistical, and personal challenges of his journey makes for a great read."" -Alex Hutchinson, New York Times bestselling author of Endure & contributor to Outside & Runners World ""A riveting account of sheer willpower and triumph over adversity, a true page-turner."" -Ihor Verys, Canadian Big's Backyard Ultra Champion 2023 ""The trip changes the traveler in ways that are difficult to explain. No one has made this exact trek ever before, and no one will again."" -Lazarus Lake, Barkley Marathons founder ""Incredible-but that's what Dave does."" -Dan Lawson, ultrarunning world record holder ""Dave embodies the indomitable spirit of the ultrarunner. His adventure crossing the length of Canada running is inspiring and reveals the mental fortitude that can be unlocked from us all."" -Harvey Lewis, World Champion Big's Backyard Ultra & Men's Champion Badwater 2014 ""Running a long way with Dave is always a pleasure, and sharing every day of his transcon adventure via this book is a great way to do that without the sore legs."" -Robbie Britton, British 24-Hour Men's Champion"
