Follow the adventures of Jennifer Pharr Davis on her three-month, 1,175-mile hike of North Carolina’s Mountains-to-Sea Trail.

Although Jennifer is most famous for setting hiking speed records, her goal this time is different. She is undertaking this journey on the MST’s 40th anniversary to “encourage a love of the outdoors and help people experience this amazing trail that’s right outside our back doors.”

Jennifer’s hike will be a family affair. Her husband Brew will handle logistics, and he and their two children – 4-year-old Charley and 10-month-old Gus – will join her frequently on the trail.

Jennifer is a vibrant writer and a warm and inspiring speaker. She’ll be blogging and posting regularly about her adventures on the MST, and she will also be speaking and answering questions at four special events across North Carolina.

You can follow Jennifer’s trek in two ways:

First – sign up to receive a weekly e-mail with links to her blog, photos and Facebook posts.
