Announcing my attempt of unsupported Female FKT on Thursday 11th February 2021. Heading South to North on the Cape to Cape. Track me with spot tracker. https://maps.findmespot.com/s/25SN Certainly got my work cut out for me with the terrific current FKT's! But won't know if I don't give it a go! Thanks.

Sorry my Spot tracker is new so have been testing it out. My new Spot tracker URL to follow is https://maps.findmespot.com/s/09X0

That is great to hear Sharene - good luck with your attempt and stay safe!

My name is Katie Lovis and I will be attempting a supported FKT south to north on Friday December 3rd 2021. Will have my home club, the Margaret river trail runners, as support ?

My name is Kristie, I am attempting a supported FKT south to north 25th March 2022. Just thought I'd register as I am hoping to complete in under 24 hours. This attempt is also a fundraiser for Dementia/Alzheimers in honour of my Dad. I've noticed a few variations of the track since this route was first submitted. I will be following the most current track, hope this counts :)
