Description
Bill Sycalik posted the challenge of running a marathon on this small island:
I am on a full-time life experience project to run a marathon in all 59 U.S. National Parks (www.runningtheparks.com). I just completed marathon #38 since June 2016 on Garden Key at Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida. Garden Key is the second largest island in the Dry Tortugas, about 14 acres in size, and has a 0.6 mile trail around the outside of Fort Jefferson on the key.
There is no record of any running on Dry Tortugas in this forum. Unfortunately I didn't bring my SPOT Gen3 to the key because I read the rules after I did the run.
I ran on April 8, 2017 and completed in 3 hours 51 minutes 11 seconds as per my Suunto Ambit3 Peak GPS watch. Here is the link - www.movescount.com/moves/move151181634
Even if this is not sufficient for official approval maybe it will inspire someone to try to best it. It is beautiful there.
