The Arizona Trail is an 800 mile trail that spans the entire state of Arizona. Currently, the fastest known time on the trail is just over 13 days.
One year ago, Mike went out and attempted to beat that record, but unfortunately pulled the plug just over 600 miles. Mike has been training hard the past year to fix the issues he ran into last year, and is very passionate about getting back out and finishing the trail in record time. Mike has a history with Arizona, where he historically struggled with events out there due to the high heat. But he keeps going back to overcome the obstacles that he has faced.
In order to get the record, Mike will have to average 64 miles a day through the overgrown, rugged mountains of Central Arizona.
Join us in kicking off Mike's effort at 7:00 AM on Friday, October 27th.
