The Wonderland Trail circles Mount Rainier, rising and falling through jaw-dropping, arduous terrain over the course of roughly 90 miles. For most, the trip is measured in days. But for a select few, it takes only hours.

Green spoke last month with Peak Northwest hosts Jamie Hale and Jim Ryan about his record-setting run.
