Tara Dower and Crew Break Down Historic Appalachian Trail FKT -#237


Listen Later

For the first time ever, the Appalachian Trail Fastest Known Time has gone under 41 days–taken there by Tara Dower. On today’s episode, Tara and her crew chief Rascal join host and previous AT FKT record holder Heather Anderson to talk trail.

Tara opens up about the difficulties of the rainy conditions she had in Maine and New Hampshire including how she handled numerous falls and what it did to her feet. Rascal provides insights into what a day in the life of the crew is like and how she and Tara’s mom Debbie kept things going.

They share the importance of the support from hundreds of people along the way, dirt naps, and so much more all while raising funds for Girls on the Run. Donations to Tara’s fundraiser can be made at https://support.girlsontherun.org/fundraiser/5607331

Drop in and be inspired by Tara’s relentless effort–including how she overcame a 100-plus mile deficit–to claim the overall record.
