 endary&nbsp\;<em>Te Araroa Trail</em>&nbsp\;– 3\,000 kilometres\, self-s
 upported and alone\, carrying only five kilograms on her back. In doing so
 \, she set a new&nbsp\;<em>Fastest Known Time</em>&nbsp\;on one of the wor
 ld’s most diverse long-distance trails.</p><p><br></p><p>Each day meant 
 ultramarathon distances through ancient forests\, volcanic plateaus\, alpi
 ne ridgelines and endless coastlines. She crossed rivers\, faced heat and 
 storms\, and experienced long stretches of profound solitude.</p><p><br></
 p><p>In her&nbsp\;presentation\, Paulina shares more than statistics and l
 andscapes. She speaks about inner dialogue\, about doubt and resilience\, 
 and about the moments when mental strength becomes more important than phy
 sical endurance.</p><p><br></p><p>In the spirit of the&nbsp\;<em>InterFait

 oneself.</p><p><br></p><p>An exploration of limits.</p><p>A story of perse

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