DOUBLE HOWE SOUND CREST TRAIL FKT | Trail Running Film 

On September 21, 2020, James Stewart of Couch to the Summit set out to attempt a new FKT (Fastest Known Time) on a double (out and back) of the Howe Sound Crest Trail starting and finishing at Cypress Ski Resort. The 27km long technical trail is typically tackled as a “point to point” hike or trail run due to the challenging terrain, making it difficult to complete the out and back (54km with 4500m ascent) within daylight hours.

The current claimed FKT for a double on the trail stood at 13 hours and 49 minutes. James' goal was to strip over two hours off the record and strive for a time around 11 hours.
James ran solo on the first leg of the day from Cypress to Porteau road, and then was joined by his friend Brian Clements, who filmed parts of the second half of the journey.
Big thanks to Brian for the lunch at Porteau, suffering with me on the return trip, and making sure I made it home safely!
