Pike Run Trail traverses much of the undeveloped 2,256-acre Coonville Creek Wild Area of St Francois State Park and illustrates the type of wild, undeveloped landscape that characterizes wild areas in Missouri's state parks. The trail includes a Northern Loop [4.0 miles] and a Southern Loop [6.25 miles] that are connected by white connector 1. In addition, there is a .60-mile backpack camp spur located on the Southern Loop. This trail may be closed after heavy rains; call the park office for status.
Joe Cox posted to the old FKT website that he had run the Pike Run Trail in 1h35m on 12/17/2013, but not verification was provided.

Is there a direction this should be run in to attempt the FKT? North loop or south loop first?
Typically you would run whichever allows for the fastest time. Hope you'll get us some more information & a GPS track for this route!
This segment was created on Strava and the best time is Michael Roy at 1:44:38.. I’m going to give it a go tomorrow but honestly a 1:35 time as posted by Joe on the old website back in 2014 for a time he just mentioned without any proof as 1:35 is wicked fast and slightly dubious.. any thoughts, anyone?
