Report

According to the FKT pro-boards, “Prior to Pharr-Davis, the self-supported Long Trail record holder was probably Dr. Warren Doyle, who, in 1978, covered the distance in 8d13h25m.”

 I cannot find the start or finish dates, so I have put in July 1st as a place holder start date. Just know that this is likely not the correct start date. The only other mention of Dr. Doyle’s hike I can find is a brief reference to it in the Outside article that I have linked below. If you have any information about the effort, please feel free to post it below!
