Compiled by Todd McMahon. List may not be 100% accurate. I may have missed someone that has more than one completion, etc. People on the list are people that I have hiked with, or people fairly well known in the hiking community. Some of them may be people that just post often on the Thousand Miler Wannabes Facebook page, etc. * = someone that I have hiked with, ** = someone who I have met on the trail, shuttled me or I did some other activity with (trailwork, Panel Discussion, etc)
This page should help you figure out what number you are if you have hiked the IAT. It should be noted that numbers can change, especially at the bottom of the list. This is caused by people who are slow turning in their paperwork.
