Congratulations to These 2024 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers: Part 6

Spanning 2,190 miles across 14 states, the Appalachian Trail challenges even the most determined hikers. This year’s thru-hikers set off from Georgia with Maine on their minds, and though the path ahead was uncertain, they never lost sight of that distant goal. Day after day, they faced steep climbs, unpredictable weather, and the wear-and-tear that comes with long-distance hiking, pushing themselves far beyond what they thought was possible.

Now, standing at the northern terminus, these hikers have turned that once-distant dream into a reality. Their journey is a testament to perseverance and grit, and it’s one they’ll carry with them for life. Let’s take a moment to celebrate these superstars’ incredible achievement!

Have you recently completed your thru-hike on the AT? Let us know to be featured in our next Finishers post. You deserve to be celebrated!
