Ohio’s FKT Routes

by | May 27, 2023 | Routes

Ohio has a robust women’s FKT scene. Of the 38 posted routes and variations, 20 don’t yet have a women’s time (52.6%), which means there is still plenty of opportunity for women to claim a record. In 2022, the women outpaced the men in setting FKTs, with nine being recorded by women (47.6%), two by mixed teams (10.6%) and eight by men (42.1%). Let’s keep the momentum going in the Buckeye State!

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.
