Paul chose a well-calculated course that provided him with the greatest amount of safety while giving opportunities to restock the support stroller and care for his body as best as possible. Remember, he was alone for the 506-mile, 17-day run. Averaging 30 miles per day required a route that provided him with optimal stopping points – from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, across the Mojave Desert, to Badwater Basin, Death Valley, California. Have a closer look at the route:

It also included Arizona's Kaibab National Forest and Juniper Mountains; Nevada's Lake Mead National Recreation Area (southern part); and, California's Mojave National Preserve, Avawatz Mountains, Greenwater Mountain Range, and Amargosa Mountain Range.
