THE ROUTES
To find the fastest routes for any of the NEU8 Sky Runner challenges go to the official FKT website.
Lets keep this simple. Here at the NEU8 we do not care which route you choose to RUN the NEU8 Sky Runner Challenge. Just note, as stated above, the fastest routes are usually the routes defined on the Official FKT website. If you choose a harder route and can still beat the FKT cut off time that is fine with us! We are just focused on the cut off times listed below
For the NEU8 Sky Runner Challenge we do however follow the FKT site rules for submission of electronic data to prove finishing times once you have completed the routes.
