Anyone know of an FKT time for the Knobstone Trail, (KT), in Southern Indiana?
Specifically route chosen, ie Spurgeon Hollow or Delaney loop at the north end.

Troy, I had the same question. Did you find any record of a previous FKT for the Knobstone?

I've not heard anything, but as far as setting the record, the most southern terminus is indefinitely closed from miles 4-9 which alters any attempts...  |

Troy, I heard from the forest service that they hope to reopen the trail this fall. No specific date yet so it might be possible to make an attempt late this year.

Hey Troy. There is a small group of us Indiana trail runners that still meet every April to run the KT. It used to be a 50 mile "run," but the last few years we've been too busy drinking beer to run that far. There was tornado damage from last year and numerous re-routes due to logging over the years. We would always start at the south end and run north to finish at a cabin in Delaney Park. To get 50 miles you need to do a backward S on the Spurgeon and Delaney loops. As far as I know, I have the fastest known time at 9:30. That was 2004 or 2005. I also did a solo double crossing for a 100+ miles in 2009 in 27:59.

Russ,
Thanks for the info! I've always to join you guys on one of those runs. I used to get the group emails and always followed the chatter. That solo crossing of yours is crazy! Many Kudos on that effort.
