Devil's Path - New Record Set
Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 9:54 pm
On August 15, 2010 Ben Nephew ran the Devil's Path in 5 hour 35 minutes and 32 seconds. ADK88 run the Devil's Path on May 26, 2010 in 7 hours 25 minutes. This broke the record in 2007 of 8 hours and 25 minutes. The Devil's Path is 24.2 miles long over some of the steepest and most dangerous hiking paths in America. The path was built in 1929. If you hike it, you will swear that it was made by the devil.
Recently, Timber Rattlesnakes were discovered just south of Plateau Mountain. Just adds more difficult to the hike.
