On October 24th, 2025, I ran the Bryce Canyon Traverse for the unsupported FKT. I wasn’t sure I could achieve it because I had run and achived the Zion Crossing self-supported FKT only three days prior. However, my body held up well! I finished in 5 hrs and 31 minutes and 54 seconds, beating the previous time by almost 30 minutes. I started at Rainbow point and finished at the Fairyland trailhead. It had rained quite hard the day before, which made some parts of the trail tricky as the wet clay would clump on my shoes and weigh me down. However, it did provide a few streams to filter water from, though the water was very murky but I used by beefree filter and it worked well (and surprisingly did not get clogged). The run is very runnable and feels quite flat the whole way despite the over 5K of very you ultimately gain. Running through the popular part of Bryce was very pretty but crowded and there were a lot of horse groups that I had to stop and wait to go bye. Overall a great run and a fun ultra!On October 24th, 2025, I ran the Bryce Canyon Traverse for the unsupported FKT.
