FKT: Brianna Grigsby - Soldier La Milagrosa Loop - 2026-02-11

I set out to take the FKT on this route February 11, 2026. The previous fastest time on the route per Strava and per the Tucson Trail Runners database was Laura Haley's time of 2:46 in 2021. Tucson Trail Runners' database has results for this route going back to 2001. I carried 1L of fluid (electrolyte drink mix) and some gels; I don't remember how many gels I ate since it's now a month later by the time I got the route approved and am submitting my FKT attempt. I also carried my filter bottle since I had run the route at a slower pace 3 days prior and knew there was water in the seasonal pools along La Milagrosa, however I did not end up needing to stop and filter water since the 1L I carried was plenty!
