On July 2, 2022, Shan became the first person to run the length of the East Coast Greenway - covering 2,960 miles from Key West to the Canadian border in 78 days. Josh traveled the route by bicycle, managing the logistics along the way. At the finish line, Shan dropped to one knee and proposed. Josh said yes (and then helped him stand back up).

​

This part of our story actually started in 2020, when Shan ran across America with a friend driving his camper van. That trip helped us realize that we didn’t have to wait for the perfect moment. We could just go.

 

So we did. But with a twist.

 

We ditched the support vehicle and built our own human-powered model: Shan runs, Josh cycles and tows the gear. We tested it with a 9-day, 360-mile trip on the Erie Canalway Trail in 2021. More than 6,000 miles later, we’re still at it.

​

This is where we keep the record: the routes, the gear, the logistics, the mistakes, and what it actually took.
