The trail is 2,650 miles and it generally takes the entire snow-free season to walk. Thatâs about 5 months. Elite athletes who are experienced on the PCT have finished the trail in as little as two months. The few who achieve sub-100 day hikes average well over 30 miles per day. Thatâs an incredible achievement.
I think a 100-day thru-hike is very possible, but you will need to hit the ground running by having your gear and systems dialed in, and by being in decent shape before you get out there. The trail is 2,175 miles long, so to do it in 100 days you need to average âjustâ 21.75 miles per day. If you can walk at 3mph, you only need to hike for 7.3 hours per day. Of course, youâll want to take breaks during the day and youâll need to stop in town, but 10-12 hour days are still pretty comfortable. I would recommend only stopping in towns that are right on the trail, if you have the choice.
