This route should probably be clarified as the Timberline Trail starting from Timberline Lodge FKT. Other starting points should be considered their own FKT on this trail due to the challenges the various starting locations provide.
The FKT is for the loop regardless of starting location. You should choose your start/finish location to get the fastest time. That's part of the decision making process that goes into any FKT, similar to the selection of gear, weather conditions, trail conditions, etc.
Hello! This Saturday August 3rd I will be starting an attempt for a self-supported double Timberline Trail, hopefully going for a female self-supported FKT in the process. Not sure what the current self-supported female FKT is but the Timberline Trail yoyo should be fun regardless!

Update: I may start in the evening of Friday August 2nd. Earliest start will be 6pm, and could be as late as 3am Saturday August 3rd. Spot will go live at this point.
Hey Ella!! How did it go? I'd love to hear/read a trip report if you have one. Hope you had a fantastic time out there! Cheers! -Ladia (WA)
Hello! Tomorrow (9/1), I'll be going for the women's supported FKT set by Lynn Harmon in 1982 in honor of and with my best friend, Gabriele Grunewald, who passed away in June after a decade long battle with a rare cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. She was a professional runner for Brooks, specializing in the 1500 and 5k, who founded the Brave Like Gabe Foundation in 2018 to raise awareness and money for rare cancer research. In the past two years, she raised over $1.5 million for her foundation while fighting her own cancer battle and trying to train and compete at the highest level in her sport. She has inspired thousands along the way with her message of hope and perseverance, and her light continues to shine so bright in everyone she has touched. It is the honor of my life to carry on her message of hope and perseverance through my own running. I'll be starting at Top Spur at 6am, running with her husband Justin Grunewald, supported by her sister, Abigail Grunewald. We are so excited to go on this beautiful adventure together with her spirit in our souls lighting our way 🤗💛✨
CONGRATULATIONS Ladia! My double trip ended after one very slow night. So stoked for you and pleased at your result! My trip report here: https://ellaraff.wordpress.com/2019/08/05/timberline-trail-one-night-on…
