Impossible Odds Podcast

Introducing Impossible Odds

Two friends, 8,000 trail miles, one year. This is Impossible Odds.

The Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail make up the Triple Crown of hiking; to complete them all in a lifetime is to join a group of hiking superstars. To hike all three in a year? It’s almost unthinkable.

But not for 21-year-olds Sammy Potter and Jackson Parell. The two Stanford students set out on Jan 1, 2021 on a mission to hike the Calendar-Year Triple Crown (CYTC), an 8,000-mile feat that’s only been accomplished by a handful of elite hikers. The Impossible Odds Podcast follows Potter and Parell on their quest to become the youngest Calendar-Year Triple Crowners. Will they make it? Listen to find out. 

New episodes coming soon.
