91岁的戴尔·"灰胡子"·桑德斯完成了阿帕拉契亚步道全程2193英里的徒步，重新获得该步道年纪最长完成者的纪录12。桑德斯于9月6日从西弗吉尼亚州出发，于2026年8月31日到达缅因州卡塔丁山峰12，完成这一历史性壮举。
这次徒步过程并不轻松。桑德斯在途中摔跤71次，其中7次属于严重摔跤，但他未曾放弃1。他以分段方式完成了这条步道，中间有休息间隔2。这一成就打破了2021年由M.J.埃伯哈特创造的83岁纪录1，也超越了他自己在2017年创造的82岁纪录1。桑德斯并非首次刷新极限冒险的边界，他曾在87岁生日时开始，耗时87天完成了密西西比河全程的划行1。
Dale Sanders, 91, has completed the full 2,193-mile Appalachian Trail, reclaiming his title as the oldest person to finish the renowned hiking route 12. Sanders, who earned the nickname "Grey Beard," began his journey on September 6 from West Virginia and reached the summit of Mount Katahdin in Maine on Monday, August 31, 2026 12. The completion was accomplished through section hiking, with breaks taken between segments of the trail 2.
During the expedition, Sanders endured 71 falls, seven of which were serious, yet persevered to the finish 1. His achievement breaks the previous record held by M.J. Eberhart, known as Nimblewill Nomad, who completed the trail at age 83 in 2021 1. Sanders had previously held the record himself when he first completed the Appalachian Trail in 2017 at age 82 1. Beyond this accomplishment, Sanders has also set the record as the oldest person to paddle the entire Mississippi River, completing the 87-day journey at age 87 1.
