Description
Running the Orient: An Adventure and Discovery on a 2000-Mile Ultra-Run Across Europe
Gavin Boyter embarks on an extraordinary long-distance challenge, running from Paris to Istanbul along the historic route of the Orient Express. With his trusty converted Mazda Bongo, Roxy, by his side, he will face numerous obstacles and breathtaking scenery as he traverses eight countries, crosses 180 rivers, and ascends 16,500 metres.
As Gavin navigates through forests, mountains, plains, and major cities, he will encounter a diverse range of characters, from fascinating locals to wild animals. But the journey is not just about physical endurance - it's also a test of his relationship with his girlfriend, Aradhna, who joins him on this adventure.
