Grant Strugnell posted this unusual FKT route:

Hey guys.
I live and work in rural Lesotho, in the wonderful mountains of this area. I love running here, and have been working on a fun FKT route, from the gate of the Children's Centre where I work, to the peak of Thaba Putsoa (the Thaba Putsoa in Quthing District, there are a few). Its an awesome route. 25km total, with 1500m Vert. Current FKT is by me at 4:48. Lots of info, maps, etc can be found on www.pulanechildren.org/fkt. This is mainly made for fun, but a little awareness too of the Children's Centre. You can find deets on the website, and if you come run it, theres easy ways you can donate to what I'm calling the FKT fund to buy a new playground for the kids. I want to be clear, this is NOT COMPULSORY and i am NOT charging for the FKT! That would be nuts. So, check it out and come take down the FKT!
