The longest continuous walking routes on Earth humans want to conquer

How far can you go without crossing any oceans?

Many people have questioned how long it takes to walk across the vast states of the United States without crossing any seas, rivers and lakes. Reportedly, the shortest route, from California to Georgia is 3,764km long and will take about 3-5 months of walking depending on your speed. Meanwhile, the longest route, from northern California to Maine, is 5,676km long and usually takes about six months or more.

The first person to make the trek from Argentina to Alaska was former British sailor George Meegan, who began the 30,608km multi-part hike in 1977. George Meegan finished the trip after 2,425 days, ie in 1983. Holly Harrison, American, made a similar trek north in 2018. He completed the walk more than 23,305km in just 530 days.

The longest walking trail on Earth starts in Cape Town, South Africa and ends in Magadan, Russia.

Another contender for the longest journey to walk on Earth appeared in 2018. At that time, Rohan Chabukswar, an electrical engineer and physicist working in Aerospace Technology and Applied Research Collins of Cork, Ireland, and Kushal Mukherjee, an engineer at IBM Research in New Delhi, calculated the longest possible straight land route that doesn't cross any seas.

Their 11,240km road starts in southeastern China, crosses many mountains in Central Asia and ends in southwestern Portugal. Their trip through 13 countries, including Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France and Spain, before ending near Sagres , Portugal. When stretched across the map of the Earth, that path forms a large circle.
