Recently JD McGee and Melinda Hooper took on the over 57 miles FKT from the Flamingo Visitor Center located on the Florida Bay in Everglades National Park to the Dante Fascell Visitor Center in Biscayne National Park. They set the Mixed Gender Record with a time of 18 Hours, 37 Minutes, and 11 Seconds!
The route follows Florida State Road 9336, which serves as the main park road within the Everglades National Park and has historical ties to Old Ingraham Highway. The route traverses 38 miles through the heart of Everglades National Park, where you will pass coastal lowlands, hardwood hammocks, mangroves, wetlands, prairies and cypress forests. Wildlife is abundant throughout the course, including birds and the occasional alligator and crocodile sighting.
Once exiting Everglades National Park, you will pass through some of South Florida's farmlands as you head into Florida City, the gateway to the Florida Keys and the Everglades, on your trek to Biscayne National Park.
From Florida City to Biscayne National Park, you will pass alongside various canals teeming with wildlife, including manatees, alligators and various native and migratory birds. The route ends at the Dante Fascell Visitor Center within Biscayne National Park, with vast scenic views of Biscayne Bay from the boardwalk.
Luis Cocco has the Male Supported FKT for this as well, he set that with a time of 10 Hours, 59 Minutes, and 7 Seconds!
