CONWAY — A clean-water advocate who had announced she was going to run across New Hampshire on Saturday as practice for a longer run across Maine in New Hampshire said it was a piece of cake.
Katie Spotz, 33, of South Portland, Maine started out at around 6:30 a.m. at the Vermont-New Hampshire border near Lancaster, and 11 hours, eight minutes later, she arrived at her finish point: the state line between Conway, and Fryeburg Maine.Â
I wondered who this person is and a quick google search revealed a much more interesting story. This is Katie Spotz, formerly of Ohio, youngest person to ROW ACROSS THE ATLANTIC! Also, the first person to swim the entire 325 mile length of the Allegheny River.
She will be running from the Canadian border northwest of Eustis, to Belfast on the coast. 130 miles straight through in about 30 hours. She has raised more than $270,000 for clean water projects around the world.
