Josh Garrett
Josh Garrett is a vegan athlete and hiker. In 2013 he broke the record for the overall fastest known time for a thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail,〔Haskel, J, "The Record Breakers" Pacific Crest Trail Communicator, published by Pacific Crest Trail Association, Winter 2013, Volume 25, No5.〕 which traverses the West Coast of the United States from Campo, at the Mexican border, to Manning Park in British Columbia. Garrett started the 2663 mile hike on June 10, 2013, and finished on August 8, achieving the record with a time of 59 days, 8 hours and 14 minutes,〔Lynch, R. (2013, August 24) (A Vegan Coach Who Chewed up the Trail ), ''Los Angeles Times'' p. E 6.〕 averaging 45 miles per day.〔Stienstra, T (2013, August 17) (Josh Garrett Finishes PCT in Record Time ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'' p C1〕 He was the first person to hike the trail in under 60 days.〔Robin Wilkey (2013, August 19) "Josh Garrett, Hiker, Breaks World Record For Completing Pacific Crest Trail In Less Than 60 Days" Huffington Post〕 He held the record for the fastest known time until August 10, 2014.〔Baker,G (2014, August 11)"Seattle runner raising awareness for cancer finishes 2,663-mile trek Sunday in record time" Seattle Times〕
Garrett hiked to raise money for the charity group Mercy for Animals, his hike being described in the press as a "mission" for the animals.〔Broom, J. (2013, August 10) (Grueling Hike for a Man on a Mission for Food Animals ), ''Seattle Times'', p B1〕 In media interviews about his record Garrett spoke mostly about his cause.〔CBS LA NEWS "Josh Garrett, Hiker, Breaks World Record For Completing Pacific Crest Trail In Less Than 60 Days", September 15, 2013, 11pm broadcast〕 He told National Public Radio, "We don’t need to eat meat or any animal products in order to be healthy or in order to be strong, and I just wanted to go out there and prove that -- and I hope I did.” 〔Banse, T (August 9, 2013) (Vegan Hiker Sets New Record On Pacific Crest Trail )〕 When the Los Angeles radio station, KNX, named Garrett their "hero of the week," Garrett said in the segment, "I did it to raise awareness that this sort of feat of endurance could be powered by a vegan diet… No matter how hard it was I just kept reminding myself that what I was going through was nothing compared to what animals are going through on factory farms." 〔Thompson, D. (August 21, 2013) (KNX hero: Vegan hiker Josh Garrett )〕
Garrett was born in Los Angeles in 1982. He attended and competed for Santa Monica College in 2001, placing in the state's top 10 for the 1500-meter run. He has a Masters in Exercise Science from Long Beach State University〔"Ultra Hiking: Speedy Hiker Takes on 2,655-Mile Pacific Crest Trail to Promote Vegan Diet and Mercy for Animals" Runners Web, June 6, 2013.〕 and works as an exercise physiology teacher and cross country coach at Santa Monica College.〔Stienstra, T (2013, August 17) (Josh Garrett Finishes PCT in Record Time ), San Francisco Chronicle p C1〕
