Hello to all

After having completed 3 times the GR20 by hiking and running slowly. I decided to try the GR20 without assistance and to be the first one to realize a FKT without assistance. I will do this in early July 2023 =.

My main goal is to finish, under 50 hours, and we will see how close I can get to 48 hours.

I will be taking videos on the trail. I will be assisted by no one, I will follow the red and white trail and the trail on my watch. And I will eat only in the refuges. I will try to sleep a few hours on the trail.

The adventure is in a long time but it is important for me to write here for a memory.

Antoine Clément.

Road To Barkley.
