Amber Constant's Trail running, hiking Gear & Expert Recommendations
Goal: 3.65+ million feet of vert in 365 Days 🪩
East Coast, USABecome comfortable with monotony.
I’m an athlete based in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, currently chasing one very big goal: the one-year vertical record, entirely on foot. I started January 1, 2026, with a goal of climbing 3.65+ million vertical feet in 365 days. Now, more than halfway through the year, the mission is well underway! I’m looking to partner with brands that want to be part of the mission and put their gear to the test through rugged days of straight vert, New England weather, and whatever the mountains throw at me.
Discipline: Trail running, hiking
Specialty: Vert for breakfast, lunch, & dinner
First known person to complete a “yo-yo” of the White Mountains 100 in a single push (208 miles) Supported FKT ~ New Hampshire section of the Appalachian Trail (161 miles)
