Jennifer Pharr Davis, the first woman to set a record for the fastest thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail, will speak at the Staten Island Greenbelt Nature Center on Wednesday, August 9 at 4pm.
In 2011, Pharr Davis set the unofficial record for the fastest thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail with a time of 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes, an average of 47 miles (76 km) a day, a record she held for four years until July 12, 2015, when Scott Jurek finished 3 hours and 12 minutes faster.
