“Maine is the ultimate multi-sport destination. It’s rare to find a world class kayak and hiking destination with such significant history and cultural heritage. Pro skier and adventurer, Kalen Thorien, and ultra-runner, Alex Borsuk, set out to explore the rugged terrain of Maine’s eastern shoreline. The duo sea kayaked and adventure camped on their way to Isle au Haut, where they circumnavigated the island in their own fashions. Kalen went by sea, paddling 15 miles, and Alex by foot, running 30 technical trail miles.”

When the dietitian isn’t working her nine-to-five in Portland, Oregon, she’s exploring the labyrinth of trails in Forest Park, or discovering new vistas in the Cascades, or jogging with her husband on a 40-mile brewery tour of the city.

But she’s truly passionate about running her own self-supported routes that take her 30 or 40 miles into the mountains. Initially hooked on hiking, Borsuk knew she wanted to cover more ground—so she picked up the pace. “It was a way to explore more,” she says.
