Report

Spectacular day out in Rainier. I ran this loop counter clockwise, starting with the Northern Loop section and finishing on Wonderland. I didn't see a single human on the entire Northern Loop section (first 16 miles), only a lone bear who wasn't much interested in me. Stopped for ~10min total to filter water at various river crossings, and otherwise tried to keep moving as much as possible. Thanks to Bret, Ritvik, and Brad for the route inspiration. Glad to borrow this FKT for a little bit but excited for others to get after it.
