I, Alan Bateson, am planning on completing the Wales Coastal Path from 04.07.2022 to the 24.07.2022, in less than the current FKT.

Good luck mate!

Great effort, well done!

I will be attempting a FKT on this route probably May 2024 either supported or self supported, yet to be decided.

I, Alan Bateson, will be running the Wales Coastal Path and Offa's Dyke Loop, on the 26th of June 2023, over 22 days, with the intention of setting the FKT for both the WCP and the WCP and Offa's Dyke path combined, which totals 1047 miles. I intend to do this supported.

Great start, good luck (that's my dot watching sorted for the next few weeks )👍

As an update to my previous comment I can now confirm that I will be starting an attempt on 01/06/2024.

Are you doing supported or unsupported?

Probably supported but I will start regardless so if no support available it will become self supported.

Amazing effort, will you have a tracker and which direction will you go? beautiful part of the world!

I am planning on attempting it. Not planning on FKT just getting it done as quick as I can. Currently in talks with my team to plan it all.

Getting to be a popular route.

I am planning on attempting FKT June/July 2024… actual date yet tbc

I am starting 20th July. Planning on FKT

hope Alan’s flagged time sticks. He actually ran further around Barry on a harder section for about a mile before getting back on it.
harsh if it’s not allowed.

I have been over Alan’s file comparing to the FKT file and they match. Why has this been flagged?

My attempt has been moved to start 03/08/24.

I will be now going for the FKT. Have to plan the once a lifetime chance to go for it.
Staring Saturday 20th July 6am Chester
