Longyearbyen 10 Summits is an annual 24-hour challenge held the last weekend of August. The loop connects the most popular summits and hiking routes around Longyearbyen, following ridges, steep climbs and rocky plateaus - starting and ending at the "Gruvebus" statue in Longyearbyen town square. Every summit has its own cairn with a black postbox and a book that has to be signed as passing verification.

As a resident of Kentucky, I've always had a goal of running up Black Mountain. It is the highest peak in my state! In true FKT fashion, I decided to run up the mountain as fast as I could. Bucket list item complete! :-)
