by | Sep 4, 2023 | Routes

With only nine posted routes and variations, South Dakota has not seen a lot of FKT activity to date. Women have claimed FKTs on five of those routes, leaving four yet to be posted (44.4%).

In 2022, women posted two FKTs of the eight total (25%) – men claimed the other six (75%). 

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.
