Puszcza Pyzdrska loop(125 km)

Dear FKT Team,

I'd like to propose an exciting new route for a Fastest Known Time (FKT) record in Poland: the 125-kilometer (77.7-mile) loop around the Pyzdry Forest ( Puszcza Pyzdrska) 

This route offers a unique challenge for ultra-runners, thanks to its incredibly diverse character:

 * Varied Terrain: Runners will encounter a compelling mix of dense forest trails, open farmland, and picturesque river valleys, including the Warta River. This means dynamically changing landscapes and surfaces – from soft forest floor to gravel and occasional asphalt sections – demanding versatility and quick adaptation.

 * Scenic Beauty: While perhaps less widely known, the Pyzdry Forest offers an authentic and unspoiled natural beauty that is perfect for long-distance exploration and truly immersing oneself in the environment.

 * Potential for All FKT Categories: The 125 km distance makes this route highly appealing for Supported, Self-Supported, and even the most demanding Unsupported FKT categories.

I believe the Pyzdry Forest Loop (Puszcza Pyzdrska) has the strong potential to become a significant and prestigious FKT on the Polish ultra-running scene. I'm confident it will attract many runners looking for new challenges and beautiful, natural scenery.

I'm happy to provide more detailed information about the route, including maps and any necessary data for verification.

Thank you for considering this proposal.

Sincerely,

 

Pawel Buda
