Super pretty run in the Los Padres Forest, but it is definitely overgrown in some areas making the trail a little bit of a challenge to find. I would definitely recommend doing it with one or two other people, as it can feel pretty remote. This route was already established on Strava, so I wanted to send it to the actual FKT website as well. This was a very fun loop with lots of vert and some crazy geology; it had the most concentrated serpentinite deposits I've ever seen. https://www.strava.com/activities/8146416295

We are blessed with gorgeous trails and many fine churches on the Essex/Suffolk border, and friends will note how frequently I photograph both while on my runs. I wanted to create a route that celebrated both and was accessible for many at around 50k. Although I have been noodling on this for over a year, it was finally plotted just days prior to the attempt when another FKT with a friend had to be postponed.

Classic loop route! This one goes out to all the marathon baddies that have those fast turnover legs. I tracked this run on my boyfriends garmin watch as well as on my iphone. My phone shows 1584' climbing and the Garmin shows 2329'. I think the Garmin is much more accurate, there are dozens of small hills on the trail side that I think my phones tracking did not capture.

The route passes through Deosai Plains, the world's 2nd highest plateau. Average elevation is more than 4000 meters.
