🥾 Alexander Marriott has just joined an elite group of hikers to complete the Triple Crown of Hiking – and he did it all fully vegan. 🌱
Over 12,000 km (8,000 miles) in just 14 months, Alexander hiked through some of the most remote and extreme terrains in North America. It involved hiking the 2200-mile Appalachian Trail, the 2655-mile Pacific Crest Trail, and the 3100-mile Continental Divide Trail. He faced lightning storms, avalanches, wild animals, and more – all while fuelling his body with plant-based meals.
“I did it all as a vegan and have documented the entire journey. In September, I will attend the Triple Crown award ceremony in Colorado,” Alexander told Great Vegan Athletes.
Plant-based since 2003 and fully vegan since 2014, he says, “I made the change because I’ve always felt compassion for animals… I wanted to live a life that didn’t negatively impact the world around me.”
👏 Huge respect to Alexander for showing that being vegan is no barrier to endurance, adventure, or grit.
