Not sure if I have to declare that I'm going after a FKT or not but here goes. On December 31st starting at the scheduled race time on 5:00 a.m. I'm going to attempt to set a new FKT for this course. ?

I will be attempting a "supported" FKT of Big Island Circumnavigation on December 31st, 2023. A big mahalo to Justin Young and John Wright for their pioneering efforts and for showing the way!
