I will be attempting the unsupported female FKT October 10, 2020. I will be tracked by my Garmin 735xt. 

I just noticed that we both got FKTs on 10/10! (My name is also Carrie Henderson!) What a crazy coincidence. Congrats!!

I've assembled a crew to try to improve on my previous Out-and-Back Pictured Rocks FKT. Shooting for 10/15/22. We will be running this time. Can't wait.

I will be attempting the unsupported out and back FKT on 5/16/23. Looking forward to it!

How'd it go James? Looking at maybe taking a swing at out n back self-supported this weekend.

Hello Stephen,

The run went great. The trail is in great shape through most sections however winter storms did a number on parts of it, especially  around the mosquito beach area.

How did your run go?
