Appalachian Trail speed record
41days 7hours 39min
Successful Fastest Known Time attempt (official Guinnes World Records Holder)
Joe and I set out once more to set an FKT on an epic trail, the 3500km long Appalachian Trail. Yet again, we had to beat Joe “Stringbean” ’s time. We learned so much from our mistakes on the Pacific Crest Trail that we could maintain a great flow from start to finish. This way, we ended up with a record that was over 4 days faster than Joe’s record, almost 5 days faster than Karl Meltzer and almost 6 days faster than Scott Jurek. It was an awesome adventure and the connection with the local community will be in our memories for a very long time.
