Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running26 Helmi 2025

Dragon's Back Race director Shane Ohly shares his FKT story (plus some event tips!)

Ahead of my Dragon's Back SKT (Slowest Known Time) over 6 separate weekends this year, Dragon's Back Race director Shane Ohly shares the story of his FKT (Fastest Known Time) over this 6-day route that he organises annually - 380km with 16,400m ascent in 4.5 days in August 2024. Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/gmlpKK8r7VI

Why did he decide to take on such an epic challenge? What were the highs and lows? When did he think he might quit? This was the first FKT on the Dragon’s Back Route - could he go faster? Does he plan to have another crack at it? Who does he think might smash it up next?
