Women of Distance

Georgia Porter - The Fastest Known Time on the Arizona Trail


Listen Later

Georgia Porter is an accomplished road, trail, and ultra athlete who recently set the female Fastest Known Time on the Arizona Trail - covering the 817 miles and 113,537ft of elevation gain from Utah to Mexico in 16 days, 22 hours, and 6 minutes.

The adventure was life-changing.


In this episode, we uncover Georgia's origin story as a non-runner in a family of elite runners, to uncovering a talent for the marathon, a passion for trails, and ultimately a drive to uncover the truths that ultra-distance teaches.

We take a deep dive into the Arizona Trail FKT itself, and what it taught Georgia about re-orienting their relationship with pain in a physical, mental, and emotional sense; as well as the value of community, team, and the shared experience.

We also discuss what they have coming next, and how this long-trail adventure, and it's lessons, opened a door of possibility and potential.


I hope you enjoy this episode; and encourage you to like, follow, and share if you do!
