On June 11, 2021 Owen Sound-based trail runner Steve Kenny will embark on a 900KM journey from Niagara to Tobermory on the Bruce Trail. He will attempt to set a new Bruce Trail Fastest Known Time or FKT. The current FKT record of 9d 17h 2m 25s was set in 2020 by John Harrison Pockler. Steve had the opportunity to run with Pockler during his run, and that experience inspired him to make an attempt himself. Trail running is different from running on the road. There are unique challenges including roots, rocks, streams, low branches and wild animals. Navigation of the trail itself can be difficult, especially at night.
