With a failed fkt attempt on the Fundy Footpath 2 days prior (got a phone call at the 12.5hr marker, saying the gate closes at 5pm, you have to get off trail) I decided to give this loop a go.
7:20am start
With tired legs, and 9,500 feet of climbing in them, I was ready to give this route a go! I'm on a "running" vacation" afterall.
The trail was super pretty, but had numerous river crossings which seemed to have slowed me down. Most river crossings had a rope, which shows how high the water must get. The water was extremely cold! A couple tricky downed trees and a mind full of wonder on how the supported times are so fast! I wouldn't recommend this loop in the spring. Maybe the crossings are easier a little later? It sprinkled off/on. Overall, tired legs and all, I'm happy I did it.
