3.000 Kilometres Alone Across New Zealand<\/strong><\/p>\n

What happens when you simply start running \u2013 and refuse to stop?<\/p>\n

In 54 days, 9 hours and 48 minutes, Paulina Z\u00e4ck<\/strong> crossed New Zealand on foot along the legendary Te Araroa Trail<\/em> \u2013 3,000 kilometres, self-supported and alone, carrying only five kilograms on her back. In doing so, she set a new Fastest Known Time<\/em> on one of the world\u2019s most diverse long-distance trails.<\/p>\n

Each day meant ultramarathon distances through ancient forests, volcanic plateaus, alpine ridgelines and endless coastlines. She crossed rivers, faced heat and storms, and experienced long stretches of profound solitude.<\/p>\n

In her presentation<\/strong>, Paulina shares more than statistics and landscapes. She speaks about inner dialogue, about doubt and resilience, and about the moments when mental strength becomes more important than physical endurance.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of the InterFaith Weekend<\/em>, her journey becomes a reflection on connection: to nature, to vulnerability, and to something greater than oneself.<\/p>\n

An exploration of limits.
\nA story of perseverance.
\nA reminder of what becomes possible when we dare to keep going.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Paulina Z\u00e4ck<\/strong> is a German anthropologist and long-distance trail runner. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Cologne<\/em>, investigating long-distance hiking as a modern form of pilgrimage and its social, cultural and personal significance. In 2025, she ran the entire 3,000-kilometer\u00a0Te Araroa Trail <\/em>across New Zealand self-supported in 54 days, 9 hours and 48 minutes, setting a new Fastest Known Time<\/em>. With nearly 10,000 kilometers of experience on various long-distance trails, her research and athletic projects combine physical challenge with reflection on resilience, ritual, community, and the human search for meaning.<\/p>\n
