Background
The
Fastest Known Time A fastest known time (FKT) is the speed record for a running or hiking route. Unlike most endurance sports competitions such as marathon world records, FKTs are self-organized and done alone or in small groups. FKTs are most popular on long trails ...
(FKT) stands for the speed record on any given summit or traverse, usually in the mountains. The term FKT has gained popularity in the last years, specially in alpinism and mountain running, ranging from summiting a single peak to long-distance trails.
FKTs are usually difficult to compare and verify. While conditions in the mountains are very different on each season, and year after year (due to global warming), it is only considered the fastest time, no matter the weather. Additionally, style/support (if received) is detailed due to its relevance.
Besides those limitations, the evolution of FKTs is interesting, like any speed record in athletics, to be aware of the human progress.
