I plan on establishing a self-supported FKT on the FHNT in early April (7th), eastbound (downhill) from Council Grove, as part of a longer hike through Kansas.
I plan on submitting photo and video evidence of start/completion, Instagram updates when in service, as well as .gpx files from daily Strava uploads.
Hopefully others will come enjoy the sweet rail trail and roll over the extremely low bar I aim to set, 48 hours or so.
Delayed by injury. I'll be back
I'm looking to give this a go soon, hopefully within a few weeks before summer takes hold! Sorry about your injury!
It's my backup plan for next weekend (May 29-31). East to West, self-supported. Good luck on yours Justin! Nice action last weekend!
sincerely,
the guy offering rides back to start/finish in a backwards van.
Going for a supported FKT starting in Council Grove eastbound on September 24-25th, 2020 (starting early AM on 24th). I will run solo and get aid from my dad along the way. Tracking will be done with a Garmin Instinct Solar watch and will be uploaded to strava with photos when complete. For live tracking I will post a string on facebook with photos whenever cell service is available. Best guess is 18-20 hours, but this will be my first FKT attempt and longest run to date. I've never been on the FHNT but I love this part of Kansas and I'm very excited. If I need to adjust my plan or there are questions/comments, please let me know.
