Scott Jurek Appalachian Trail Speed Record

Scott Jurek’s 2015 speed record on the Appalachian Trail was an extraordinary feat but there’s more to the story than superhuman speed. In July 2015, he completed the 2,189-mile route from Georgia to Maine in 46 days, 8 hours and 7 minutes, starting at Springer Mountain and ending by climbing Mt. Katahdin. In just under 7 weeks, he ran what takes most other hikers about 6 months. Scott crossed 14 different states, and gained and lost elevation equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest an astonishing 16 times.

In his own words, Scott calls running “the vehicle I have used to explore my potential and a tool I use to better understand the world around me." Scott’s only human. But his story shows that being human is more than enough to do extraordinary things.
