https://share.garmin.com/TJBMT. Starting another south bound attempt Sunday at 5 am Eastern time 10/4/2020. Self supported.
This Friday (4/23) at noon I'll be attempting a supported Benton MacKaye FKT headed southbound. I'll be using a Spot Gen3 tracker as a primary tracker. I'll also record the whole journey via my Coros watch which I will upload to Strava after the attempt. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and videos along the way which will be uploaded to my Facebook/ Instagram page to help verify my effort.
Tomorrow (July 24) I'll attempt to see how fast the GA section can be done, starting from the TN/GA state line around sunrise (supported).
Hello! Candy Mama here. Beginning October 3rd 2021 at midnight from Springer Mtn I will attempting to set the Fastest Known Time on the Benton MacKaye Trail going northbound. This will be a supported effort. I will be using my Suunto Ambit watch that is connected to my Strava account to track my attempt. Alongwith my watch I will also have my Spot Tracker. I will be posting on Instagram during my record attempt.
