FKT: Brianna Grigsby - National Trail (AZ) - 2024-12-26

I ran the National Trail Out and Back FKT starting at Pima Canyon TH on the east and running west, then back west to east. I carried 2L of fluids (1L water, 500 mL of Gu Roctane and 500mL of Skratch) and it was a nice overcast day, so I didn't even quite drink all my water! There were lots of people out around the time I started at the Pima side; it seems many people are off for the holidays! But as I got toward the west side, it thinned out significantly and I saw very few people. It was my first time doing National Trail in its entirety! It is very well signed at junctions, which helps with navigation if you haven't done it before. I also had the route downloaded to Gaia GPS.f
