On Oct. 15, 2021, Katharine Spector completed the 93.3-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail in New York in just 26 hours, 24 minutes, and 4 seconds, establishing the supported Fastest Known Time (FKT) record for both male and female athletes. She understands the crucial nature of the Trail Conference’s role in protecting and securing the future of trails. This was a key factor in her decision to do her FKT attempt as a Trail Conference fundraiser. Katharine regularly takes her boys on hikes and has recently signed herself and another person up to serve as A.T. trail maintainers. |
