EP 120 - Hallucinations, Failures, and setting the John Muir FKT: Aurelien Sanchez Interview

Live Ultralight Podcast | Backpacking, Travel, and Adventure

Dec 27 2022 • 58 mins

Aurelien Sanchez is a French runner and backpacker who holds the record for the self-supported fastest-known time record for the south-to-north route on the John Muir Trail. In fact, he held the record for the John Miur self-supported OVERALL from 2018 until August 2022. His attempt took 3 days 3 hours 55 minutes and 10 seconds and was the last of three attempts to FKT the John Muir Trail. Although it is in French, you can see him document his adventures on his YouTube channel. Given the language gap, Aurelien is a bit of an enigma online, so it'll be interesting to get to know who he is, where he comes from, and what makes him tick.
