This route on the old FKT site
Comments
Cassie Scallon attempted the FKT on 3/09/2019, but came up a bit short:
"I just wanted to follow up on the unsupported FKT attempt I had on the Joshua Tree Traverse last weekend. I missed Sarah Keys' time and ended up coming in 5:36:12, which looks like it may be the 2nd fastest time reported to your site. I uploaded my run on Strava here ."
Today, Apr 12, 2019, I will attempt another unsupported Joshua Tree double traverse (a.k.a out-and-back or yo-yo) with the goal to beat Jason Hardrath's impressive time from Dec 2018. More info at http://www.christofteuscher.com/aagaa/announcement-another-joshua-tree-double-traverse-attempt.

I plan to start around 5pm.
I'm not sure how to make edits as I did this on the old website but this is the link to the current overall FKT:Â https://www.strava.com/activities/890228326
Not a FKT but did this route in 9:00:53 this past Saturday. Â Prettier than I expected and tougher (sand, wind) than I expected too! Â All in, enjoyed the day tremendously! Â
Heading out tomorrow morning around sunrise to go after the supported Joshua Tree Traverse FKT. Heading west to east. Dylan just set an awesome time so assuming it will be pretty hard. Got intel from Claire and YiOu.
Headed out at 4:00am tomorrow 12/18/2021 for an out and back supported effort in partnership with LA Saves Track! I had a great convo with Jake Jackson about his experience on the Traverse and I’m excited for a strong desert adventure.

I just ran this in December, with a few miles tacked on at the end to hit 40 for my 40th birthday. Epic route! My goal was to just finish, as it's the furthest I've ever run, but I'd love to go back and run it faster sometime. Here's a recap with some photos of the trail:Â https://johnvantine.com/40-mile-run-joshua-tree/
I ran this route on the night of Sunday, June 30th 2024 in 6:52:22. I parked my rental car at the North entrance which would be the terminus of my west to east route. I cached water at the Ryan campground trailhead (~20mi from start). After parking my car at the endpoint I hired a driver to take me to the Black Rock campground at 9:30 p.m. I began running after 10:00 p.m. with 3L of water. This was done with a waist mounted lamp and a headlamp, with a little bit of moonlight.
