Looking to set a new FKT on the Sandia Crest trail (one way).
Â
At the moment I am still deciding if I will be running N --> S or S --> N and when to do it. I am thinking of doing the attempt between 4/17/2020 - 4/26/2020.
Â
If any one has information regarding times from previous attempts (one-way only) it would be greatly appreciated.
Â
I will be following up on my route direction and date later.
I have no idea about times but was considering attempting this route too. I am planning an attempt heading southbound from the tunnel springs trailhead.Â
I know the second half very well and thought I’d rather not have to think when I’m tired.Â
Â
I was thinking of possibly attempting it on 4/19/20 but we just had some snow.Â
Â
I will post my plan when I know them.Â
Â
let’s establish a time for the single crossing.Â
Did either of you attempt it? Who's going to set the time to beat!
I'm obviously late to this discussion, but since you posted this question, Michelle Hummel has set the overall record at 4:17:13. She ran N --> S in an unsupported fashion, carrying all her water and food from the start, as documented on this site. The fastest attempt I know of by a male is J Collier Kempton's run back in 2016. Not sure of his style (supported, etc.), but he also ran N --> S in 5:06:55 (https://www.strava.com/activities/700954180/overview), including a side trip up to South Sandia Peak, which is not a required part of the FKT.
I was doing a little more virtual recon on the route using strava, and it turns out that there is a segment for the S->N direction. The record there is 4:46:07, set by Micah Howard in 2016 (https://www.strava.com/activities/774787098), which is faster than Kempton's N->S run that same year.
Has anyone done a double header out-and-back? The 100 miler?Â
Planning to set an FKT with Dustin Sandquist (if no record exists yet) 5/8/20-5/9/20.Â
Hi all,
I am attempting the route on Thursday may 28th. Someone’s got to get it started. I will be traveling southbound starting at tunnel springs.Â
Looking to start around 7am Â
I will be self supported. Dropped off at the beginning and picked up in the other end.Â
I can be found on Strava at Christopher Bratton.Â
Â
I’ve got the wife’s buy in so I’ll see ya out there,
ChrisÂ
I’m changing directions and heading south to north but all is set for attempt tomorrow.Â
Oops,
I bailed at the parking lot at the top. There is a bunch of construction at the tram house. I missed the trail connection and wound up heading down and ran into the road. I think I’ll do a practice run up at the top and work out my mistake and then try again.Â
Â
cheers
I will be attempting an unsupported double crossing of the Sandias tomorrow morning starting at 6am. I will start from the canyon estates trailhead and will be carrying everything I need with me and not accepting any aid. Shout out to the homies that came before me.
