What a track!
Epic morning out exploring the Light to Light. This track took many twists and turns, slightly easy to navigate however National Parks is doing a lot of track upgrades so my route has slightly deviated from the uploaded FKT gpx file. There were quite a few track closures and detours to navigate which meant that my attempt went more coastal - running extra distance, along rock slab cliff edges, and with slightly more elevation!!
Next summer (december 2025) I would expect to see a lot of the track works completed and so a much faster FKT can be set then as the track is normally very well maintained for hikers and tour groups.
I took 2.5litres of water with me, I ran out of water with 6km to go which meant I had to dig deep to get finished and came across the line quite fatigued and in need of a sit down.
There's not a lot of elevation across the track however the small pinch climbs and rock stairs start to take their toll, so do the beach/rock pool sections that make finding a consistent speed a fun challenge.
Would recommend as a full day run/hike as this is a gorgeous bit of coast!!!
