Record-Breaking Sprint: Appalachian Trail in Just 40 Days

In a record-breaking feat, Tara Dower completed a supported run of the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail in just 40 days, shattering both the men's and women's records. Her journey began with a failed attempt in 2017, overwhelmed by panic and inexperience. Overcoming her past and her fears, Dower returned to the trail with a newfound love and determination, transforming the intimidating terrain into a month-long sprint. Dower celebrated her victory with a bottle of champagne and has plans to set more records after a well-earned break.
