The Hike by Numbers

We travelled a long way, then walked a long way

15 Brothers, walking 96 miles over 6 days. Plus…

Over 3 million steps in total

Approximately 2,200 steps per mile (calculation based on the average number of steps by five brothers on Day 5)

An average of 211,200 steps per Brother

15 Brothers completed 96 miles each (with a slight reduction for one missed day due to injury and transportation for another)
2,200 x 15 x 96 = 3,168,000

32,976 miles travelled by train, plane, automobile and on foot

An average of 2,198 miles per Brother

29 walking miles lost to injury or lack of fitness
