FKT Verification

Verify your FKT!

You put in a huge effort - you want people to believe you did it, right?

FKT activities are now quite popular, professional runners receive sponsorship, and the media is paying attention. So please reduce potential hassles for yourself and document what you do.

Do not later claim that you did not know you had to verify your effort. And just like with all your other gear, you need to know how to use your tracking device, and need to keep the battery charged.

Description

Jan Wellford provided some perspective:

New York's highest summit is also one of the Adirondacks' most runnable peaks due to the easy grade of the trail. The Van Hoevenberg trail beginning at the Adirondack Loj is the fastest way up Marcy. It is very eroded, littered with rocks and roots and often wet, but at least it's not that steep. I'm sure Marcy has a long history of running, hiking and skiing records, but I am having a surprisingly hard time finding out the details. I'm hoping this post will attract some attention from those who might know.
