Day Fire Podcast

Liz Anjos aka Mercury


Listen Later

This week we spoke with Liz Anjos, aka “Mercury,” who just finished and set the new women's South to North supported record on the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine. 51 days, 16 hours, and 30 minutes.

Liz’s record attempt was supported by Warren Doyle, who was also in the studio with us and is a hiker, educator, and expert on the Appalachian Trail; who set an endurance record on the trail in 1973, completing it in 66 days. He currently holds the informal record for hiking the entire trail the most times (18!). Liz was also supported by family in Virginia and Pennsylvania, and friends throughout the long distance hiking and trail running communities in the Eastern US.

The women’s overall record stands at 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes, set by Jennifer Pharr Davis in 2011 hiking North to South.
