About Sarah Funk

Sarah recently moved to the PNW from Upstate NY. She spends her weekends hiking, biking, and running with her partner Bridget; they’ve enjoyed getting to know the PNW on their weekend adventures and are always up to try out a new place or activity.

20 Miles, 10 Peaks, and Over 10,000 Feet of Elevation Gain

Bridget and Sarah have teamed up to hike the Great Range traverse this summer in the Adirondack mountains. This adventure covers 10 peaks (8 of these are some of New York state’s highest peaks) and 20 miles with more than 10,000 feet of elevation gain. This will be an epic single day adventure.

This duo tried the trek before and had to bail, so this year they’re returning after spending the summer training for it. Support Sarah and Bridget on their return to their home state & home mountain range to attempt the Great Range Traverse!

I'm an aspiring trail runner from Portland, OR, proving that middle age is just the beginning. Five years ago, a neck injury left me wondering if I'd ever hike again - now I'm training for my first 50K. When I'm not trail running, I'm backpacking with a multi-year goal of section hiking the PCT. From 9-5, I work in marketing for a global non-profit, but after hours and on weekends you'll find me on the trails encouraging other women to try hard things.
