Slick Rock & Mountains: Utah’s FKT Routes

by Women Who FKT | Apr 23, 2023 | Routes

Utah has long been considered a premiere place to FKT, with its challenging peaks, slot canyons and expansize national parks. Women have been active in setting FKTS, with only 52 of the posted 105 routes and variations not having a posted women’s time (49.5%).

In 2022, women outpaced men in setting FKTS; 28 were set by women (48.3%), 25 by men, and 5 were mixed teams (8.6%). Opportunities abound for FKTs in this beautiful state; we hope to see even more women go for a record here.

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.
