FKT Guidelines

What qualifies as a route?

The Fastest Known Time community exists to track and celebrate the progress of speed attempts on the best running and multi-sport routes in the world. Not everything is an FKT route. Each approved route must be notable and distinct enough that others will be interested in repeating it. Ideally, routes should have beautiful scenery, historical or cultural merits, a history of competition or high level of public popularity, and a logical and aesthetic line on the landscape.
