Attempt Your First FKT
Description
Fastest Known Times (FKTs) have exploded in popularity in the recent years due to their simplicity; they are self organized attempts on how little time it takes you to get from point A to point B. Despite their popularity, there is a huge discrepancy in the amount of FKTs women have set compared to men.
After learning about the data divide, Marta Fisher decided she wanted to do something about it. Her solution was starting the grassroots movement, Women Who FKT. Stacey jumped on board, and the founding members helped shape a movement that gives people that identify as women a space in the FKT world.
Women Who FKT "wholeheartedly support trail and ultra running becoming more inclusive and would like to ally ourselves with anyone working to increase the safety and visibility of BIPOC, LGBTQ, and gender queer runners. [They] firmly believe that there are opportunities for women at different levels of experience to grow as runners through FKTs."
Whether you are a trail runner, hiker, or just curious about better access to trails around you, we want to give you the tools to attempt your first FKT. Our interview with Stacey, a founding member of Women Who FKT, highlights:
- the different styles of FKT & which are the most beginner friendly
