A nice run along the trail can help get the day started. But what about a run on the trail from one end of Isle Royale to the other? Recently Michigan tech’s Nordic ski coach Kristen Monahan completed that run in record time. Traversing the island national park’s 40.6-mile length in just over 8 hours. Monahan used the green stone trail to complete the major milestone and was joined by fellow Nordic ski team coach thomas smith, who ran the second fastest men’s time across isle royale. Prior to Monahan’s recent accomplishment the fastest running time across isle royale for women was completed by Alice Held in 2021 in a time of 11 hours and 2 minutes.
