There are two reasons to do this FKT: Mount Zas…to stand on the highest point in the Cyclades and to summit the mountain where Zeus was raised.

According to Greek mythology, Mount Zas, also called Mount Zeus, is the place where Zeus spent his childhood. Tucked away on the slopes of the mountain is a small cave where Zeus was raised. You can visit this cave as you hike to the summit.

I did this FKT Southbound (SOBO) to finish off my Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) adventure with an overnight and to see just how fast and far I could do to finish 100 Miles.

That said this route was iconic and I think would make a great stand alone FKT, which is why creating the route for it.  This is a well known part of the PCT but when I was on the route in mid-September, I was basically alone the entire 35:02:35. 

All 4 Extra-trail tracks in the mystic muddy Ardennes in the heart of Belgium: 4 loops, 30k-21k-14k-7k, reunited in one track. That's what the Stoumont Grand Slam is all about. This also means you start and arrive 4 times at the Stoumont central ExtraTrail hub, and run some sections several times. All four routes must be run completely.
