Description:

Let's try a full year challenge to walk the Appalachian trail. The AT is approximately 2190 miles long, so this challenge is not for the faint of heart but I think we can do it. I believe the full walking challenge will be 4,380,000 steps. This means an average of 12,000 steps a day for 365 days.

A couple of years ago, Dixie (trail name) came to Wofford under the invitation of James Bednar to give a talk on how her experiences on the AT influenced her life.  if you are interested, here is a youTube video from Dixie on her walk on the AT in 2015.   "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzXP5PjRHjM" target="_blank" target="_blank" >Dixie to Maine
