FKT Frenzy on the Tahoe Rim Trail

Kyle Curtin broke the unsupported Men’s FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail finishing in 41:09. More impressively, the women’s record was broken twice, with Helen Pelster breaking the women’s time, only to be unseated by Candice Burt a couple of days later in 2 days, 12 hours and 47 minutes.

 

New M80-84 48h world record

Doyle Carpenter 144.56km in 48 hour at the Merrill’s Mile to set a new age group world record! He also managed to finish in an impressive 3rd place overall at the race!

 

Moh Ahmed runs 12:47.20 to break Canadian 5000m record

Noah Lyles breaks 200m world record

After a stunning virtual race performance, Noah Lyles smashed Usain Bolt’s 200m world record, only to find out the starting blocks were set up in the wrong location resulting in him running only 185m. This left him disqualified, and without a new world record.
