Paulina Zack Te Araroa womens overall FKT with pack
Paulina Zäck set the women’s overall fastest known time on the Te Araroa trail in a self-supported fashion, meaning she carried everything she needed for multiple days between resupplies. All photos courtesy of Paulina Zäck.
Eszter Horanyi identifies as a Runner Under Duress, in that she’ll run if it gets her deep into the mountains or canyons faster than walking would, but she’ll most likely complain about it. A retired long-distance bike racer, she turned to running around 2014 and has a bad habit of saying yes to terribly awesome/awesomely terrible ideas on foot. The longer and more absurd the mission, the better. This running philosophy has led to an unsupported FKT on Nolan’s 14 and many long and wonderful days out in the mountains with friends.
