We have a ping that looks like the final one at 8:53 which would be 49d, 14h, 57 minutes. We're not reporting that as the official time but based on the track, that's what I see.

I just got a text from one of the other logistics guys who pointed out "How did we miss that the RoadiD tracker has the distance listed at 2198 miles?" Dunno, man. Dunno.

Sunset tonight is 8:21 pm.

For anyone wanting to play the "What time will he finish" game, I went back and looked at the first log point - 5:56 am on 5/30. 50 days, 0 hours would be 5:56 am on Thursday 7/19.

We had...

Hey Angle. Yeah the tracker is registering mileage off (see the previous commentary on the accuracy being off by 0.25%). Here's the screenshots that I grabbed last night showing both the "Harvey...

Harvey spent last night at the Iron Works so he's down to 83.7 to go. 50 days will end up being Thursday morning at 5:33 am, so everyone on the team is curious to see if he ends up above or below...

Updated. Thanks!

That's for that! I'll update my notes.

Ooh that's a great application!

Since we're almost wrapped up, I'll walk you through some of the technical approach that we used for this, and by all means if you want more of an explanation, I'm...

Hey OddManOut -

Here's what I have noted down on my side. I used the 2018 AT Data Book and figured the mileage for the day based on the stopping point for that day minus the stopping point for...

Here's how I put it in a post on the Facebook group last night:

The crew map that we use starts at a zoomed out view where the entire trail fills the screen. Each day I've opened it and watched...

This is fantastic to hear, and I hope indicative of the interactions that people have had with Harvey over these past (checks calendar) 44 days.

We're hoping that Harvey makes it to ME 27 tonight...

Well...yes and no. Pete Kostelnick, who ran cross country went through the effort of submitting for a Guinness World Record. And the verification is still pending. He was recently a guest on the...

Here's his declaration post on FKT.com

Hi all, I'm now about one week before starting my speed record attempt on the A.T. and as it's getting really busy with last-hand preparations I'm announcing...

Interesting to see the challenge of Mahoosuc via the tracker.

The triangle in the lower left corner is from 3:31 pm. The one in the upper right is 5:28 pm. The distance reported by the tracker...

Harvey spent the night sleeping in a hammock a few miles north of Gorham (let's call it 1900). The latest schedule I'm working from has him finishing in just under 50 days which would have him...

Really appreciate the passionate and well-written response Brew. I came to WB because I knew there would be discussion about this and wanted to be able to respond to questions and provide information...

Thanks for the link to Jen's article. Interesting to get her take on it.

The massage table has been brought up by a couple of people and looking back through the pictures that have been posted,...

With Harvey being a teacher, he knew he needed to make his attempt in the summer, and as close to the end of the school year as possible (I think it ended on a Thursday and his original plan was to...

His website says starting July 18th and he appears to be going NOBO based on the information I can find.

I really like the use of the word "hiker" as a mindset rather than describing a speed of travel.

If we're frankensteining a best possible FKT attempt it would be someone capable of running the...

Brew - totally understand where you're coming from. We had the wife of a thru-hiker leave a comment on Facebook chastising the crew for the fact that they had a table set up near the can spread with...

As an ultrarunner myself, I don't agree with this. Ultrarunners are suited to going quickly across a single day (or two day) event. Being able to grind out 50+ mile days for over a month is such a...

And just to be clear, there have been no shortage of moments when I've thrown up my hands in disgust with this attempt and some of the decisions that were made.

Excellent discussion, and I'm enjoying reading all the passionate, well-thought out responses (and trying to give my own kinda-thought out responses). Having been involved with this effort since the...

Officially, we're still looking approaching things like he has a chance at getting the record. We've put together a schedule that includes four very long days with the rest similar to the mileage of...
