I was just wondering if anybody out there knew what the current speed record is for the AZT northbround thru hike style? thanks

You may want to try asking on the ultra runners e-list:
http://www.extremeultrarunning.com/emaillst.htm
Though the list is geared more towards supported “runs”, many of the subscribers of the list do what some people call “fastpacking”. I suspect the people on the list may know the current reported fastest time for a non-supported hike.
The AZT is not as well known as some other trails, so there may not be a known record…official or otherwise.
Good luck!

Andrew Skurka asked the same question and the posted answer was 35 days by Li

That wasnt skurka, that was yours truly. However I just met up with Skurka on his Great Western Loop and the miles he’s logging would demolish the old speed records. He did mention how tough the AZ trekking was though

Hey Andrew,
Does that mean Skurka will be attempting the AZT speed record in 08?

Not that he mentioned, I don’t think that he’ll return to the AZT. He was logging 35+ mile days though, that guy can haul
