Ep. 1008: Florida Trail FKT - Hunter Leininger

After years of watching his dad participate in endurance adventure races, Hunter begged him to let him join in on a race. His dad looked around at all his fellow competitors and noticed there wasn't a single kid out there let alone someone even in their 20s. Dad was eventually convinced to let Hunter do a 6-hour adventure race at 7 years old!That kicked off an adventure career that spans some of the most difficult challenges in adventure racing, including many “youngest ever” records. Today we’re talking about Hunter’s most recent experience, a fastest known time of the iconic Florida Trail, the official thru-hike of winter! The 1,100 mile trek through swamp, sand, and skeeters was completed by Hunter in 21.5 days. Learn more about hunter: }https://www.instagram.com/hunter_leiningerhttps://fastestknowntime.com/athlete/hunter-leiningerOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out Tecovas: }www.tecovas.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: }https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — }https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: }https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: }https://redcircle.com/privacy
