There's a new fastest time on the Pacific Crest Trail! And this was done as a self-supported FKT 😮 Nick Fowler covered the entire PCT in 45 days, 17 hours, and 47 minutes, averaging a mind-boggling 57 miles per day. He beat the previous overall record ,which was set with a dedicated support crew, by just under 2.5 hours. (1/2)
