PRADEEP S. MANCHESTER, CT

Pradeep S. of Manchester started hiking the trail when it was covered in snow. Having never run or hiked solo before, Pradeep was nervous initially, but the fear made him focus on what he was doing in the moment. He felt a wonderful sense of disconnect from the outside world when he went into the woods and soon began loving the solitude the New England Trail had to offer.

SUZANNE M. – ATHOL, MA

Nothing can keep Suzanne off the trail! She started her challenge when there was still several feet of snow on the ground, hiking 6-8 miles every time she went out with her hiking group. The challenge for her has been a great way to get old-timers and newcomers to join together for an adventure.
