Hardest Single Day Hike | R2R2R In 1 Day

The Rim to Rim to Rim (R2R2R) is an iconic and challenging trek in the Grand Canyon National Park. As the name suggests, it involves traveling from one rim of the canyon to the other and then back again, covering a round trip that spans the width of the canyon twice. Me and a group of friends tackled the Canyon March 29th, 2024 Typically, participants start either from the North Rim or the South Rim, descend to the canyon floor via one of the trails (such as the Bright Angel Trail or the South Kaibab Trail), traverse the canyon bottom, and then ascend to the opposite rim using another trail. They then turn around and repeat the journey in reverse, returning to their starting point. We took the South Kaibab over Bright Angle because of the shorter distance and not needing all the water that you can get on the Bright Angle Trail. The R2R2R is extremely strenuous and requires careful planning, preparation, and fitness due to its significant elevation changes, rugged terrain, and exposure to extreme weather conditions. Here is my story In June 2022 I was 240 pounds and losing the battle to alcoholism. After finding a joy for running again I decided to turn my life around. Since then I have continued my running journey, finishing a few ultramarathons and dreaming big. This video is a part of that journey.
