American Tara Dower sets the speed record on the Appalachian Trial in astonishing 40 days, 18 hours and five minutes.
Running the Appalachian Trail is one of the most challenging and grueling feats in the world of ultra-distance running. The Appalachian Trail stretches 2,190 miles from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia. The AT winds through 14 states, including New Hampshire, Virginia and North Carolina.
Runners on the Appalachian Trail must also navigate the logistical difficulties of resupplying along the way. Since the AT passes through remote wilderness, many sections of the trail have no towns or services. Consequently, trial runners carefully plan logistics regarding supplies and other required services.
