Join us Thursday, 4/16 at 6pm in the iRun LOCAL shop for a special book reading from Bethany Adams, local author of 'Unsupported: A story of moving fast and letting go– Setting a speed record in the Adirondack Mountains.'Adams is a writer, mountain athlete and experiential educator. She is the first woman to achieve 100 Fastest Known Times (FKTs), and in 2020, she and Katie Rhodes became the first women to climb all 46 Adirondack High Peaks unsupported. Her stories of endurance and healing through nature have been published in Trail Runner and Outside magazines and in the short story collection Blood Sweat Tears (Rugged Outdoorswoman Publishing, 2024). Adams is a proud community ambassador for SheJumps, a non-profit organization that works to provide more women and girls access to the outdoors. Also a member of Team VJ Shoes USA, she can be found at @bethany.climbs on Instagram.
46Climbs
A certain percentage of proceeds from Unsupported will be donated to 46Climbs, an organization that raises awareness around suicide through physical movement and mountain climbing. In 2020, the hike that Rhodes and Adams embarked on and later made history with, was dedicated to 46Climbs. Mental health struggles and suicide touch every family, it’s part of Unsupported’s mission to offer light on a subject that is often kept in the darkness.
