GO STRINGBEAN, GO! . . ・・・ Long Trail FKT An $GO STRINGBEAN, GO! . . ・・・ Long Trail FKT Announcement . On Wednesday, 6/10, I will attempt the unsupported FKT going South on Vermont’s 273 mile Long Trail. The Long Trail is the oldest long distance trail in the USA 🇺🇸 and a hotbed of incredible FKT accomplishments. This has been a huge goal of mine for quite some time, but I really want to dedicate this run to the black lives matter movement & the push for progress in racial equality in our country. . You can follow along in two ways: 1) I will try to occasionally post from on trail 2) Katie @kkmcconaughy will be sending a more in depth daily rundown of my progress through email. You can subscribe via my link in bio or eepurl.com/gZepTr . Why the Long Trail? It’s a true classic. Few people know I attempted the record in 2015 and ended up with a watermelon sized knee after 90 miles and called it quits. Before Katie and I relocate to Seattle, I’m so glad to take on this challenge. I’m also hoping this run and my platform will contribute towards positive change and equality in our country. The movement that’s happening in our streets right now shouldn’t stop when we get to the trailhead. . The outdoor and trail running community are generally white, FKT routes have been pioneered by white faces, and Vermont is one the of least diverse states in the USA. I will be carrying 8 stones in my backpack in memory of 8 black lives taken by unjust police brutality (a very tiny fraction of lives lost) and to raise awareness for the #8cantwait campaign to end police violence. I know I’m lucky to have a home in the outdoor community - it should be welcome to all. I’m donating to @outdoorafro and encourage you to as well. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 . I’m honored to follow in the footsteps of some incredible athletes: David Horton, Cave Dog Ted Keizer, @jenpharrdavis @alyssagodesky @_joshuaperry current supported record holder Jonathan Basham (4d12h) and unsupported record holder @thefreeoutside (5d23). Feeling blessed & inspired to walk in the footsteps of some legends in the sport! . I will start with ~25lbs (18 of water/food) and try to cover the 273 miles between 4.5-6 days. I anticipate sleeping 2-4 hours per night$
