The Appalachian Trail (AT) is a 3,540-kilometre hiking pathway in the USA. It crosses through 14 states. Hikers take at least 6 months to complete the AT walk. But Tara Dower hiked through the AT in a record time of 40 days. She broke both the men’s and women’s records for the fastest time taken to cover the trail. The money that Tara made for the run will be used to build life skills for girls.
