Twas’ a great year for UD athletes and new records. We are proud that we have 2 super motivated ambassadors that both set unbelievable FKT’s on the Appalachian Trail. Scott Jurek and Heather “Anish” Anderson should be very proud of their achievements as are we.
Gear Junkie thought so too!
“Few trail runners have generated publicity like Scott Jurek. The vegan ultrarunner’s speed record on the Appalachian Trail was no exception. Jurek arrived at the northern terminus on July 12th, running the trail with a support crew in 46 days, 8 hours, 8 minutes.
Heather “Anish” Anderson’s 2015 unsupported Appalachian Trail record was seen by some as even more impressive. With no substantial help from the outside, Anish completed the AT in purist fashion, hauling her own gear and picking up resupplies at traditional points along the way in 54 days, 7 hours, and 48 minutes, finishing at the southern terminus in September.”
