FKT: Rachel Bainbridge, Craig Eaton - Sugarloaf Mtn (ME) - 2025-10-11

We were at Sugarloaf for homecoming and the uphill race sold out, so we decided to go for the mixed-gender team FKT. We didn't need any food or water as it's a pretty short route. Perfect fall day and great trail conditions. Started at the super quad and we followed the uphill race course route, and the road was mostly dry and pretty packed down for the first half. Some steep sections (chicken pitch), but lots of runnable portions too. We made it to the top of Timberline in just under 38 mins and then the top of the mountain in just under 40 (39:40). We hurried down the way we came up as fast as we could with out rolling an ankle. This was my first time running to the top of the mountain, so an out and back was the easiest to navigate for me and Craig said it was the most direct route. Made it back down to the super quad in 1:04:30 round trip. I have been interested in this FKT for awhile so I was glad to have a nice day to put a good effort in toward it!
