FKT Of The Year 2023

Here are your top men and women for the 2023 Fastest Known Time performances.

What I love about this selection process is that it’s pretty straightforward. It has to be an FKT in the calendar year and it has to be inspiring or as FKT says:

These exceptional achievements have captivated us with their feats of speed, endurance, and sheer determination.

1. Jenny Hoffman for the TransCon USA and Karel Sabbe for the Pacific Crest Trail
2. Hillary Gerardi for Mont Blanc and Jack Kuenzle for Denali
3. Jessica Pekari and Nick Fowler for the Pacific Crest Trail
4. Claire Bannwarth for the Colorado Trail and Tyler Andrews for Aconcagua
5. Lizzie Richardson for Paddy Buckley Round and David Hedges for Nolan’s 14

Again, no blog post on their website announcing this list but individual Instagram posts spreading out over 5 days to allow for a countdown. I don’t mind the countdown, but man, use your damn website to post the full list so folks can easily get the info.
