Route: Trans-Kansas (KS)

Submitted by Corey Riner on Mon, 07/17/2023 - 06:06pm
Location
Kansas, US
Distance
430 mi
Description

Admin note: The record across Kansas has likely been set on a Trans America run. Mike Wardian has the fastest supported time that we could find.
The route provided is just one possible example. Any start/end points on the western and eastern borders may be used, in either direction.

One possible route is from Kanorado on the west border of Kansas to Kansas City, Missouri on the east side of Kansas, following old highway 24 for most of the state.

I’m curious to know how if a submitted time will be compared to a segment of a trans America run?

That's a good question. Anyone attempting this should do research beforehand. For reference, Mike Wardian ran across Kansas in what looks like a little less than 9 days in 2022 during his transcon run (his data is all on his Strava). He wasn't going for a record during this run so it's quite possible someone has gone faster. Kostelnick ran through Nebraska, not Kansas during his FKT but its likely other male or female FKT holders have gone through Kansas.

Right, but nothing was specifically submitted for this section and there could be several others that have attempted a Trans America that included KS but they did not complete the Trans America route.  I think if there are no posted FKT's for Trans-Kansas than it's wide open (pun intended for KS).
