Batona Trail End-to-Enders!

While we are far from an official organization of anything, it’s been mentioned many places that it would be pretty awesome if there was a log of folks who had hiked the entire Batona Trail.  So now, there is!

Qualifications for inclusion on the list- you must have hiked the entire Batona Trail, whatever length it may have been at the time of your having hiked it.  This can have been completed in one trip, or as many trips as it took to cover the sections of the trail.  Doesn’t matter if you ran it in one day on an ultra-marathon, or hiked it a piece at a time over twenty years, it all counts!

How do I get on the list?  Email southjerseytrails@gmail.com with your name and the year that you finished having hiked the trail.  You may include more than one thru hike in more than one year if you’d like.  This is completely self-reported, so we rely on folk’s honesty in reporting their achievements.
