91-Year-Old Hiker Reclaims Appalachian Trail Record | Charlotte News

Once dubbed “Grey Beard,” Sanders first broke the record at 82 in 2017, then lost it to a friend—but this time, his mission was bigger than the record: inspiring others to chase their dreams no matter their age. With a history of defying limits—from paddling the Mississippi River to conquering mountains—he proves that age is just a number when you’re blazing your own trail.
