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.
Antoine Clément on John Muir Trail via Whitney Portal (CA)
In progress

36.585969431485, -118.24181739069

Athlete: Antoine Clément
Route: John Muir Trail via Whitney Portal (CA)
Start date:
Style: Supported
Status: In progress
Tracker: https://livetracker.trailrunninglab.com/

My name is Antoine Clément, and on September 18th, 2026, I will begin a supported FKT attempt on the John Muir Trail in California.

My goal will be to challenge the current supported benchmark established by François D'Haene.

This project is particularly meaningful to me. In 2024, I crossed the United States on foot along the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Sierra Nevada was one of the places that had the greatest impact on me as a runner. Coming back two years later to attempt an FKT on the John Muir Trail feels like returning to one of the places that shaped my approach to ultra-endurance.

For this attempt, I will be running in the supported category, with a small crew assisting me at the limited accessible points along the route.

To allow the trail running community, friends, partners and followers to track the attempt in real time, we have developed a dedicated public live tracker:
