Allison Mercer is our Social Media Coordinator. She and Ben Mercer met on the trails, she admired his FKTs, so they got married and now have set some together! In October they did the Georgia segment of the AT together, Unsupported, finishing it in "a Michael Jordan time of 23:23!"
Allison also answers all your questions submitted on the Contact Form. So we quizzed her on the spot with actual questions that have been submitted! How did she do?
Hello, just wondering if there is an FKT for just the Blue Ridge Parkway 469 mile ride?
Starting at marker post #63 on the east end of Crystal reservoir, head west the entire length of Canyons Trail to marker post #46. At post #46 (Granite Dam Overlook parking lot) turn around and return back down the trail to marker post #63. Thought this would make a cool route to challenge local runners as well as people passing through who stumble on this gem of a state park. There is an extensive network of trails throughout the park but this one, in particular, is my favorite due to its variety of terrain including flow and technical trail as well as awesome dam and canyon views!
