Five years ago, Nick Fowler says that just walking a mile left him winded, but over the weekend, the Oklahoman set a new Fastest Known Time on the 800-mile Arizona Trail. The news comes less than two months after we reported that Tara Dower had set a new FKT on the Appalachian Trail.
The ultra runner and fastpacker announced on his Instagram account yesterday that he had completed the desert trail in 12 days, 17 hours 33 minutes, shaving some 10 hours off the previous FKT, set by Josh Perry in 2019. He has since made his route live via Garmin.com which shows he ran northbound.
