Will attempt an unsupported run tomorrow (8/29/2020). I do not have a PLB, but will post GPX and strava if successful. Will pull water from fountains/horse water spigots.
Finished in 7:29:56 more info to come.
I ran the course yesterday 09/05 but completely unverifiable. Cannot express enough my disappointment ?. Got back after lower time to 6:17:52 but my garmin gpx is a scrambled mess. Apparently GPS signal was spotty it shows me moving straight line and not even on some sections. Contacted garmin but seems nothing can be done. I got lost at Potts branch area as well. I pulled water from spigot and creeks with filtered Katadyn bottles. I have salomon vest but I prefer now to ditch it when possible...way more comfortable. I guess I need another GPS system I am going for another fkt attempt in a few weeks and do not want this to happen again. I am coming again to lower it and gonna use 2 forms of tracking in future now.
Will attempt a Unsupported Run tomorrow 2/26/2021. Hopefully its not raining hard and I dont feel too sick from the vaccine or I will postpone it until next week. Following a similar path and water pulling plan as Kevin McCabe
Finished in 6:54:17 verification pending
Ran it 9/11/21 with a bunch of friends, 3 of us completed the whole route. Did it at our 100-mile pace as I was using it as my last long training run before taper. (So more like an SKT haha). Great route though... about 50/50 singletrack and Multiuse trails. We built in some "aid stations" at mile 19 (Ebenezer Church) mile 27 & 33 (Sycamore parking lot) by having friends/family drop by. Great way to experience everything the park has to offer, and the route/segments pass water fountains frequently enough water is not an issue.
I’m attempting a supported run tomorrow (3/26)!!
Ran this route today with @JohnGoldfield and a bunch of friends. Four of us finished the entire thing. Just submitted for an FKT as Female/Supported.

Ran the route today in 5:14:48 for a new Unsupported FKT. Just Submitted for Verification
I love how competitive this FKT has become. Looking forward to see if someone can go sub 5!
No doubt somebody will soon go sub 5... What I want to know is who will go sub 6 at Morrow Mountain?! Better yet, who will go sub 16 at South Mountains?! There are every single trail FKTs not too far away at several other NC state parks: Raven Rock, Pilot Mountain, Medoc Mountain, Eno River, Hanging Rock, Stone Mountain. All highly recommended, beautiful and unique. Happy trails!
Planning to run this tomorrow morning, I'll update results after 👍
