Connecticut FKT Routes

by Women Who FKT | Jul 4, 2023 | Routes

Connecticut has a robust FKT scene, and the women in this state have been claiming a bunch of records. Of the 98 posted routes and variations, only 16 lack a posted women’s time (16.3%). Plenty of opportunities remain to post new variations and new challenging routes, while also challenging the existing FKTs.

In 2022, men still dominated the board, claiming 22 of the 34 FKTs (64.7%). Women posted 8 (23.5%), mixed teams 3 (8.9%) and non-binary 1 (3%).

If you want to set an FKT on a route that does not have a posted women’s FKT, you should search for known times on Strava and Google.
