A FKT is a "fastest known time" for someone to cover the distance on a set route.

The year, 2020, may be remembered as the year of the FKT because so many races were canceled and ultra runners were looking for a new challenge.

Brittany Peterson and Cody Lind decided to go after the FKT for the 310-mile-long Superior Hiking Trail in northern Minnesota. Brittany and Cody are ultra runners with a long list of races to their credit, including many first place finishes. They set the new FKT for the Superior Hiking Trail at 4 days, 9 hours, beating the previous men's record by 18 hours and women's record by 2 days.

Both are running coaches and they have a passion to see runners succeed at every level, from the elite to those chasing cutoff times.
