Episode 156: Bethany Garretson: "FKTs have become the perfect niche!"

Category
Person-Person

Bethany wrote to us:  "One year ago, Katie Rhodes and I came together and became the first women to complete the 46 unsupported thru-hike. That summer was my first with Strava and a GPS watch. She and I have learned a lot in one year and have combined for 23 FKTS, going after some big and small. From the thru-hike, I began ambassador work with SheJumps, a national non-profit that promotes more women and girls to get outside. I think we'd make a cool podcast."

AGREED!

Partner trail of the EifelSteig

The Rur-Olef-Route is an addition to the EifelSteig in the North Eifel. As a result of combining this route with the EifelSteig you have a looped tour that can be booked as a package deal. 

The 37km long Rur-Olef-Route goes from Gemünd via Schleiden to Hellenthal, and from there to Einruhr. Along the way, you will experience the beauty of the Olef valley and the open landscapes.
