Braam’s book, The Great Run, is an inspiring encounter of not only his journey along the Great Wall of China, but also his life journey. It details what he has learned from hardship and achievement and echoes his beliefs that nothing is impossible if you have big dreams. The book details Braam’s journey along the Great Wall of China – The dream, the planning and the execution. It is a modern-day adventure where the human spirit overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Driven by passion, Braam draws on his deeper self to fight the physical pain of running a marathon per day over some of the harshest terrain on earth for 98 gruelling days. From the hottest day of 41 degrees in the Gobi desert to minus 22 degrees in the high mountains, he covers 4, 218km in every type of weather and terrain imaginable. The beautifully photographed book offers hard-core adventure and life-changing lessons that stay with the reader, long after the last page.
