Fastest Known Times
If you intend to record your time and contend for the fastest known time FKT / Course Record, the following guidelines apply. A more robust explanation of the ethos and guidelines of this style of challenge can be found on the Tour Divide website: http://tourdivide.org/the_rules

  • You must be self-supported without any outside help not available to other riders nor pre-arranged in advance
  • You must complete the entire course self-powered by bicycle (or hike-a-bike)
  • If you depart the course, you must re-enter within 100 ft of your departure point
  • Your course run must be recorded by GPS device via Track Leader with continuous tracking and timing from start to finish

Results are self-reported and rely on rider honesty (and GPX/tracker verification), in the spirit of a challenge that has no prizes other than pride and bragging rights.

Current FKTs!
*2020 routes were changed slightly from 2019, and a detour around Comer’s Rock was in place for construction.
(Times in Hours:Minutes)

*2021/2022 routes now detour around White’s Ferry and are 17 miles longer and have 1000′ more elevation than 2020 routes. 2023 routes are now using Featherbed Ln soon after crossing the Potomac Rive, and add in the German River Rd permanent detour. From 2023, the 400-mile loop crosses Massanutten east of Harrisonburg.
