This was such a wonderful and eye-opening video for me! I so appreciate Alan’s insight and outlook! I’m just starting to train on the trail and this is so beautiful and inspiring!😮
I backpacked part of the Wonderland last August (the Northern Loop Trail) and it was my favorite hiking experience of my life so far... Seeing these athletes RUN the trail is very humbling! P.S. I love Alan's attitude so much.
Thanks for the love! The Wonderland Trail is beautiful but not without its challenges. We're so happy to know that you had your own experience backpacking it last year! 🙌 Maybe you'll be back to hike another segment soon?! 🤞🤞🤞

What amazing views!! and the spread of all the food when they arrived at camp 😂 wow! lucky to have a crew and the right gear to do such an impressive trip ha!
Great time to get back out there, Nick! Want to check out the gear we used? You can find it here: www.rei.com/blog/run/gear-check-running-the-wonderland-trail
It was Braden Van Dragt, an in-house video producer for REI that accompanied these two, acting as the videographer and documentarian. 💪 Read more about our team's adventure here: bit.ly/3VRHVEc
I'm doing this trail in june but not gonna run it lol. Might jog a bit from time to time. But i think it's still doable in 3 days...will probably pack enough food for 4 just in case.
hi, i have few questions as we plan to do this during the summer. 1) whats the weight of the vest for each day? 2) seems over packing since you guys have a team at the end of the stage. is there a reason behind that?
Great question! It's the Salomon Adv Skin 12 Set Hydration Vest. For the rest of their gear, you can find a gear list here: www.rei.com/blog/run/gear-check-running-the-wonderland-trail
Like the video and appreciate you guys. However, I'm not sure I could spend 3 days trail running knowing other people were carrying my camp for me. If I want to spend those days on trail, I bring my backpack and carry my own weight. Glad you had fun though.
cameraman is the real hero here
We need more of these videos Alan! Love it !
Great job. Certainly a bucket list run for me.
Love to hear your “lessons learned and gear discussion” what worked what you would change…great content 🤙🏽
We're so glad to know it. Thanks for the kudos!
Last summer I climbed Rainier and a few days later completed Wonderland in 70 hours, unsupported. Beautiful place for sure
I’m preparing to potentially hike this trail this year, couldn’t imagine running it! Badass
You're going to love it!😃

Thank you Kenny!
love the stoke and the positive attitudes. Very inspiring and fun to watch. Never seen you guys before, but I like the content a lot.

What a fantastic adventure and accomplishment! What Alan says about pushing yourself is absolutely true - we are capable of so much.
Epic! Alan you are most definitely an ATHLETE! Thank you for sharing your philosophy and your genuine gratitude for everything you experience.

Our crew's support was definitely appreciated! 😊
This is sooo awesome!! What a great trail and a great video. Nice work.
I wish there were trails like this on the East Coast!!
The Wonderland Trail lives up to its reputation! 🙌 We're so happy you enjoyed watching this adventure.
Yoooo no way. What a sick experience. And the gear!? I can’t wait to start running again.

What a great adventure! What watch do you use?
Hey Tyra! Alan is wearing the Garmin Forerunner 955. Check it out here: bit.ly/3vIkylW
Props to the camera person 😂
9:45 Come on REI. You guys are from the PNW. It's Ipsut Pass, not Isput 😂
The camera man is Scott jurek right?
Not quite! 😉 The cameraperson is REI video producer and fellow running enthusiast Braden!
What model Solomon vest is this?
