Florida Trail Thru-Hiker Alumni


The Florida Trail Association keeps a roster of all end-to-end hikers who send in a certificate of completion and receive the free patch pictured to the right. The list can be found on the FTA's website here, but we have re-posted it below as well because in 2014 the list disappeared from the FTA website and once re-posted was very hard to find.
