I started this Unsupported FKT attempt from the Alma side (East to West), starting at the Fundy Park Visitor Center at 4:30am, finishing 64.3km later at the Fundy Trail Parkway Interpretive Center just after 7pm, with an elapsed time of 14 hours 32 minutes. My departure time of 4:30am was to time the low tide at Goose Creek, which was successful, and to also reach the Fundy Parkway on the St. Martins side before their closing time at 8pm. The weather was perfect, with a cross-wind from the bay that kept things cool. The many streams were my source of water using my filtered flasks. My GPS file that is attached only has a few variances, due to large fallen trees and also a cliff washout, however the re-routes didn’t affect the total distance at all. Also for reference, the official start (or end) of the Footpath is the front doors of the Fundy Park Visitor Center. I started my Garmin from the front steps, but due to a delay in GPS connection the GPX file shows a start location of about a hundred meters from the Visitor Center. Strangely, my Garmin Fenix 6X Pro reads 62.14km, however the actual Fundy Footpath official distance is 64.3km. My Strava upload is at https://strava.app.link/FKigizVZsLb
