What is the longest consecutive trail (same trail, not a multi-trail route) that you've hiked?

I would say the Red Cedar Trail at Giant City State Park in southern Illinois would be mine. It's a 12-mile loop.

How about you all?
 
I think it's the Adventure Hiking Trail in southern Indiana. I've hiked further in one day on the River to River Trail in Illinois but I haven't hike the whole thing. Yet.

How much of the R2R have you hiked in one day?

I'm probably the novice of the group, but longest I think would have been Six Summit hike at Acadia National Park in Maine. Got to see the debris of a plane crash from the 70's I believe.

I've heard a lot about that trail. I love trails that you can find old left behind stuff at.
 
Round Top Mountain 3.5 mile trail, Jasper Ark. had a bomber crash into it during WWII.
Round top is a tall knoll off by itself and the pilot didn't see it due to fog. Killed all on board.

I once went to Annapurna Circuit trek and it took me 20 days. Annapurna circuit trek takes you around Annapurna mountain range and then to the base of mount Annapurna, which is 8091 meters. There multiple mountains in this mountain range. Including Annapurna I, Annapurna II and Annapurna III.
