I will be attempting to set the Self Supported FKT of the MDT the week of August 20. In doing so, I will also attempt to set the overall FKT for the trail as well. My actives can be followed on Instagram (www.instagram.com/backwardshatforwardthinking) and Strava (www.strava.com/athletes/lance_ness).Â

Self Supported-I will NOT have anyone following, or otherwise meeting me in prearranged manner to give me support. I plan to do this hike ... as a backpacker, carrying all of my food, equipment, and water [note that using natural water sources along the route is allowed] between resupply towns, which I will walk into and purchasing food, in these towns. ...I will not be getting in a vehicle for any reason during this attempt, if I do it means the attempt is off.
Hi all! My buddy Dustin and I will be doing a self-supported FKT attempt of the Mason-Dixon starting this Friday (Oct. 4th, 2019). We're excited to see the full length of this trail at what should be a nice time of year.Â
We can be tracked via SPOT (https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0GaroUUvdBmZmvCsSqEMS11RgjU3jjYaG) and, when in cell service, will throw some posts/photos/etc on twitter (https://twitter.com/ibexplore) and possibly on IG (https://www.instagram.com/will9runner/).
Not my own runs, but I know he's too humble to ever submit them. Eddie Pantoja has knocked the Mason-Dixon Trail out of the park multiple times, setting FKTs for Supported and Unsupported runs.
Supported in 62:56:22, in a team effort with David Lantz in December of 2019:Â https://www.strava.com/activities/2952540415
Supported in 54:35:51 in May of 2020: https://www.strava.com/activities/3494995204
Unsupported in 77:52:29 in August of 2020:Â https://www.strava.com/activities/3957174418
Hi everyone! I am attempting to set the unsupported record for the Mason Dixon trail right now. You can track my activities via Garmin (https://livetrack.garmin.com/session/14935df9-45f7-47d6-97a4-13b79c10e26e/token/D9529DEBC6F35FE3BF3510EEC4EBDB) and I will be posting updates on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/piloid183/?hl=de). See you all on the other side!
I'll be attempting the self-supported FKT of the Mason-Dixon Trail. I'll be leaving Whiskey Springs heading east this Thursday (5/20) about 8am. Updates will be posted on Twitter (https://twitter.com/chasing10k).
Ended up making it about halfway. Don't underestimate this route!

Happy trails!
I'm going to give the self-supported FKT another go. Leaving Whiskey Springs Friday (10/8) morning.  Updates will be posted on Twitter (https://twitter.com/chasing10k).
The current Mason Dixon Trail map set (MDTS 2020-print, Map 7) says no foot traffic is allowed on the Route 40 Bridge (near Havre de Grace, MD) and advises people to catch the Teal Line Route 7 bus or a taxi across.
For safety, the FKT route for the Mason Dixon Trail acknowledges vehicle passage over the Route 40 Bridge section for all categories of attempt (unsupported, self-supported, and supported) as an exception to the normal standards that apply to those categories.
Will attempt an unsupported MDT FKT, starting on August 24th.
