FKT: Katy Kramer - Fortune's Cove Preserve (VA) - 2021-04-03

I ran Fortune's Cove Upper Loop with two friends on a beautiful cool Saturday.  Only other people on the trail that morning were several hikers. None of us had ran this trail before, and were surprised at how tough the trail was in terms of elevation gain. Almost immediately, we started climbing pretty steep terrain, which was pretty consistent for most of the first 3 miles. The trail is also very rocky and narrow for most of the loop, until maybe the last 1/2 mile or so. I did not find the "rolling hills" that previous FKT runner, Craig, mentioned. It isn't especially scenic, but it is a nice workout. Overall, a successful attempt.
