Episode 415: Tara Dower - Outright Appalachian Trail Record

Tara Dower recently broke the record for fastest traverse of the full Appalachian Trail (AT) outright. No man or women has covered the distance faster. The AT is 2,197.4 miles over unforgiving terrain. Tara covered it in 40 days 18 hours 05 minutes, which is the equivalent of approximately two marathons per day. Tara also holds the Women's supported FKT on the Colorado Trail (489 miles). Tara is also a highly competitive ultra runner with wins at Run Rabbit Run 100, Umstead 100, Hellbender 100 to name a few.
