Will “Akuna” Robinson is a long distance thru-hiker and 2022 George Mallory award recipient. His journey into the outdoors started with an attempt to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016. Akuna thought of this journey as a way to help with PTSD from military service and fell hard for hiking, nature, and the community that surrounds the trails. He enjoyed long distance hiking so much that he went right back out and completed the PCT in 2017 and the Appalachian Trail in 2018. In 2019 Akuna completed the Continental Divide Trail becoming the first black man to complete the triple crown of hiking. Now a with over 13,000 miles on various trails Akuna looks forward to adding new members to his trail family, enjoying all the awesome that is nature, and inspiring the uninspired.

‍
Akuna has been featured by Backpacker, Outside Magazine, LA Times, Washington Post, Wallstreet Journal, as well as ESPN.
