Route: Pacific Crest Trail through OR (OR)

Hello! On Saturday, August 1st, I'll be attempting to run the Oregon stretch of the PCT, starting at the California border and trying to get to Washington fast enough to set an FKT. I'll be doing this supported style, with my five month old puppy serving as my dutiful crew captain, along with a bit of human help, as well. 

I will be tracking the run through my garmin inreach (and Coros watch), and will share updates over instagram as cell service and trail brain allows.

Beginning Sat July 24th I will depart from the CA border and attempt to set the self-supported FKT on the Oregon PCT, hoping to arrive at the WA border on July 31st.  

For the 20 mile closed section, I will hire a local shuttle company (available to anyone on the trail) to drive me around the closure.  I will backtrack from the drop off point to make up the mileage before heading north again.  My plan is similar to the one that Tim Olsen posted and followed during his full (and inspiring) supported PCT effort.  Only difference is that I will not use personal crew for the shuttle since going self-supported.  This will actually add a few extra miles and about 3 hrs of driving time to my journey.

For whatever reason my 2013 Self-Supported Female time is not listed above. It was 9 days and 12 hours.

Howdy Hikers! I'll be setting out for an unsupported attempt on July 19th. I know someone who did this unofficially in 9 days so my goal is just to come in under that time and put an official record on the books. 

Hey all, heading out in the morning and I’m going for the supported record. Garmin link is https://share.garmin.com/JHowell13.  Happy trails
