FKT: Richard Brown - Okanagan Rail Trail - 2024-03-17

Blue skies, sunshine and warm weather made for a perfect day to set a new record. Starting at the 0km marker of the Okanagan Rail Trail in Coldstream and finishing in downtown Kelowna, I proceeded to complete the 51.1km route in 3:52:46 to break the existing FKT. For support, my parents rode alongside me on their ebikes for most of the run (except for the undeveloped portion of the trail along Ellison Lake) and provided me with my nutrition and hydration. In its entirety, I really enjoyed this route and it was well worth the crippling muscle soreness, fatigue, and sunburn that was to come (don't underestimate the Okanagan sun, even in March!).
