#22 - Billy Meredith’s Fastest Known Time on Te Araroa and The Triple Crown

104 min • 30 april 2025

In this episode of The Life Outside Podcast, Cam chats with Billy Meredith. Billy is one of the most experienced thru-hikers on planet Earth, with FKTs on New Zealand’s Te Araroa and the United States Triple Crown of thru-hiking: the Pacific Crest, Continental Divide, and Appalachian trails. He’s also hiked countless other long trails at a more leisurely pace. Billy shares the ups and downs, the raw and real, from battling trench foot on Te Araroa to carrying a photography setup no matter where he hikes, even on FKT attempts, plus what it takes to walk the world's most popular thru-hiking trails faster than anyone else before him. We hope you enjoy!
