Running-Thru: A woman’s solo thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail done as training for the Triple Crown of 200’s Races

by Stephanie White

Stephanie White, from Charlotte NC, made up her mind to tackle the three individual 200-mile distance races known as the Triple Crown of 200’s. This includes the Bigfoot 205 mile race, Tahoe 200 mile race, and the Moab 240 mile race. While trying to figure out how to train for these races she decided to do a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and learned so much about herself and life in general along the way. This is the tale of her adventure as a solo thru-hiker and finisher of all three long-distance races. The ups and downs of a thru-hike and the challenges of such a long and grueling series of races that are set one month apart of each other. She goes into detail of the mental and physical challenges she faced and how she came out at the end a much more confident, driven, and grateful person. Enjoy the adventure from the approach trail of the Appalachian Trail to the flight home from Moab in this epic journey an average woman from NC set her mind to experience. This life-changing adventure not only showed her what genuine compassion from trail angels felt like but also how strong she was from within herself to be able to concur all types of challenges.
