Despite being home to hundreds of miles of trails, the Bluegrass State has a scant 17 posted FKT routes and variations, offering plenty of opportunity to create new challenges. Of the 17 posted routes, only seven don’t have a posted women’s time (41.2%). In 2022, athletes posted 6 FKTs in Kentucky, all by men. Historically, of the 48 total FKTs set here, just 11 have been by women (23%).
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.
