FKT Attempts We're Tracking

FKT attempts we're tracking right now. (Tap each to expand.)

  • You do not need to inform us in advance (except for Premier Routes).
  • We do suggest you post your intentions in a comment on the route page.
  • Live tracking is optional, and we’ll only add it to this “Tracking Now” area for efforts expected to be longer than 24 hours (you can also post your tracker info in comments on the route).
  • Our 10 Premier Routes (see Guidelines) require you to announce your attempt in advance, and live tracking is strongly recommended.
Hunter Leininger on Florida Trail (FL)
Complete - New FKT!

25.857191, -81.033783

Start date:
Style: Supported
Status: Complete - New FKT!

12/27/2023 I'll begin my Supported FKT Attempt of the Florida Trail. Heading NOBO, same route as the previous overall FKT (West Lake-O and Eastern Orlando Corridor). I'm hoping to reach Fort Pickens within 22 days!

I'll be tracking the entire run with a Coros watch and will be uploading the data publically to Strava throughout the attempt.

I'll also be carrying a Live GPS Tracker every single mile so anyone can follow along exactly where I am at all times https://live.enabledtracking.com/flfkt2023/.

I'll also be posting videos and pictures every day of this attempt, over on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hunter_leininger/

Massive respect to everyone who has attempted or set an FKT on this incredible trail, you all are incredible! I can't wait to explore my entire home state!!

Billy "Wahoo" Meredith on Pinhoti Trail (AL, GA)
DNF

32.9781175, -86.3536711

Start date:
Style: Self-supported
Status: DNF

I'll be starting my northbound hike on the Pinhoti Trail. I'm hoping to average roughly 54-60 miles a day over 6.5 days. Planning on having my Garmin set to every four hours to start, but I think I'm going to try and track the entire effort on my Coros watch should battery allow (I packed extra for this reason :) )
