Zelzin Aketzalli is the first Mexican person to complete the Triple Crown of thru-hiking, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, for a combined total of more than 7000 miles of hiking.

We first met Zelzin in May 2021 when she started using our Active Thick with Met Pad footbeds to recover from a severe metatarsal injury. After meeting to hear more of her story, we were blown away by her incredible life-long dedication to making something more of her life than the people around her pictured possible.

Zelzin embarked on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017 never having camped for more than one night, and not speaking any English. Her bravery in the face of the unknown and her refusal to allow small fears to get in the way of big dreams could be an example to us all.
